Scotland Yard detectives, who
participated in the raid on the unions

NEW TREATY
WILL SETTLE
JAP STATUS
Protest Against California
Land Bill, Ends Gentle
mems Agreement
Between Nations
REMOVE MENACE
FOR ALL TIME
BY The United Press.


WASHINGTON. May 13--That a new
treaty will be negotiated in the inn
mediate future with Japan, which Will
settle for all time the status Of the
Nipponese in this country was the
general belief at the State Department
today. No matter what action Cover
nor johnson takes on the Webb bill
now in his hands, and which he has
been asked by President Wilson 10
veto, it was admitted today that the
time had arrived when the status OF
the Japanese must be cleared up and
absolutely defined by the treaty in
order that a menace to the peace of
the nation may be removed for all
time Secretary of State Bryan and
Viscount Chinda. the Japanese ambas-
hador, have gone far enough in their
negotiations to determine that there
is possible common ground upon
which they can meet. And the result
is likely to be treaty, couched in
plain and unmistakable English
which viii take the place of the pres
ent "gentlemen's agreement"
Despite the fact that a number of
statements regarding the contents of
the Japanese protest have been made,
some IF them extremely contradic-
tory, neither the State Department
nor the Japanese Embassy would
make the document public today. II
was admitted that the protest was
general in character and that it was
intended to bring to a head the en-
tire Japenese question and defire
iegally their standing in this coun-
try but it was denied that there was
contained in it a demand that Japan.
ese be declared eligible to natura.iza-
ton.
The Japanese protest, T. was stated
by those familiar witt the entire
situation, was based upon the feel
ing that there is IN effort, not alone
5n California, but in other States, Z,
discriminate against the japanese
because Of their alleged ineligibilit!
70 citizenship The protest. il 3 OK
planned. directs the attention Of tn
Presideil. to this discrimination anV
asks that it be .remedied. The onl,
way in which it can be cleared up, j
Is pointed out by diplomats, familiar
with the subject, is by the negotiation
of new treaty which will deal Will
she entire matter in specific terms.
This is believed to be the ad
Ininistration plan. It is because o
this that the President and Secretar,
of State have urged delay by Cali
fornia I'm its anti-alien landownini
legislation. They consider the mat
ter one that can best be settled b!
the national government and realiz
that the putting into effect of tn
Webb bill would irritate the Japan
csc populace and make the negoti
ations of the proposed new genera
treaty more difficult than il woul
be if there was no such law.
