REPLY TO JAPAN.
BRYAN DELIVERS
AMERICAS REPLY TO IJA-
PANS PROTEST..
Another Stage I'm the California Anti
Alien Land Legislation Dispute, Has
Been Reached i'm Diplomatic Ne
gOtiatiOns-Japan Has Next Move.

Washington, July 16.-The Ameri-
can reply to the last two Japanese
notes on the California anti-aIien
land law was delivered today by
Secretary Bryan to Ambassador Chin
da who at once cabled it to Toxic.
AS in the case of the preceding notes,
the contents of the latest one were
withheld from publication.
Theer is some expectation in Off
cial circles that the delivery of this
note will conclude the negotiations
on this subject between the two coun-
tries, for the present, at least, if not
altogether. 1t is declared that the
American reply to the various points
of objection to the California legis-
lation has been made so complete as
to remove most of them from the
field of discussion. Even in cases
where the Japanese contentious have
not been manifestly completely neg
atived the expert diplomatists are
sponses as to reduce the points to
clear issues which probably can be
adjusted only on the basis Of judi
cial decisions.
The result has been reached
through the exchange of five notes,
the negotiations beginning May last
with the original protest by Japan
against the projected alien land own
ing act by the California legislature.
This elected reply from Secretary
Bryan on May 19 as soon as he
had been advised Of the actual sig
nature of the Webb act by Gov John
son. On June the Japanese gov
ernment filed it's rejoinder and on
July 3 this was supplemented by an
elaborate expansion of the argu-
ments. 5e s
Unless the Japanese foreign Office
concludes that there is something in.
the American note delivered today
requiring immediate attention and
reply, probably there will be no fur
ther diplomatic exchanges for at least
another month. At the expiration of
that time the Webb alien land own
ing act will become effective and the
way will be opened for judicial test
Of its constitutionality.
