Of Pres. Wilson and Zeal.

Toxic. May 1S.-Ifaitil in the Ameri~

the Japanese is the dominating note
in the discussion of the California alien
land ownership legislation
War talk is denounced as ridiculous
and only circulated To embarrass the
two governments which are laborng

1t is conceded, however, that fail

The Japanese public generally are

a firm attitude.
The Joint celebration of the japanese
and American Peace Societies. today,
was attended by LOO japanese. Speeches
we're made by Count Okuma, former min
lister of foreign affairs; Baron Yeushiro
Sakatani, mayor of Toxic; and Fsunejiro
Miyaoka. who was counsellor OF the
japanese embassy at Washington, in 1906,
All of the speakers endeavored TO clarity
the situation and decried jngoisn.
Count okuma was loudly appIauded
when he compared the attitude of the
California legislators with the anti-for-
eign movement in Japan, half century
ago, which is BOXED upon as an absurd
race prejudice. I'VE despised foreign
ers," he said, because they looked dif-
ferent. we did not consider them human
beings. Japan finally saw the falsity OF
its position and became an admirer OF
everything American. The same causes
underly the California position, but like
the Japanese the Galifornians will see
the folly of their position and truth and
justice will triumph.
AT some day the Californians Will
laugh at their fathers and grandfathers
for driving off the Japanese, just as we
laugh now at the anti-foreign absurdities
of the Samurai."

Administration leaders declare that
the Presidents vigorous assertion has
served to strengthen the party lineup

vote on the question of public hearings
OF the tariff bill as an indication of
the solidarity of the majority. Before
the President came out so strongly in
the face of the tremendous lobby influ

charged with uncertainty.
On every hand was heard the report
that the finance committee was plan
