President Asks California to Delay
Land Bill Until He Arrives.
Washington, April "a. = President
Wilson telegraphed to Governor john
son, of California, asking him whether
the alien land legislation could be held
up until Secretary of State Bryan
could go to California, personally ex'
plain the position of the federal gov
eminent and urge an adjustment.
News of the presidents suggestion
to send Secretary Bryan spread very
quickly through the diplomatic circles.
The opinion was freely expressed that
the presidents course would satisfy
Japan that the government was doing
everything in it's power.
In view of various published reports
of an alarming character, this formal
statement was issued at the Japanese
embassy:
mo visit has been made by the
ambassador to the White House this
week, nor has he ever limited to any
body at such an alarming outcome OF
the situation as possible war between
the two countries. In fact, such con.
tingency has not been discussed at
any phase, so that it is equally er
roneous to say that the Japanese am.
bassador has declared that no war
will follow.
"In fact he, as we'll as his govern
ment, confidently relies upon the sym
pathetic attitude of the American ad
ministration and the high sense OF
justice and fairness of the American
people to prevent legislation adverse
to the Japanese.
I'm view of the gravity of these re
ports and of their possible mischief
the embassy authorizes the strongest
possible contradiction of such state
