GOVERNOR JOHNSON
ANNOUNCES POLICY
Attitude Of California EXGCu.
tive Made Known

Sacramento, Cal, April 23.-Through
the exchanges of kilograms today be-
tween President Wilson and Gov. john
sion the settled policy of the California
administration on the question Of
alien land ownership, as agreed upon
last Sunday, was officially made
known.
Gov. Johnston and his party leaders
in the Senate favor a bill excluding
from land ownership in the state all
aliens ineligible to citizenship undar
the laws of the United States Such
law probably will be passed in spite
of the objections from Washington, 1t
was said tonight.
The assertion is made by the Gov
ernor that state law of this nature
would be in contravention of any ex-
listing treaty. He is upheld in this
view by the majority leaders in the
Senate, who met with him today and
agreed upon the form of the telegraph
ic reply to President Wilson's message
sent today.
Opposition to the administration
programme will come from the Dem
ocrats, aided by a few Republicans
v no are opposed to anti-alien legisla.
ton of any kind. The Democrats will
seek to strike out the words "inelig
lille to citizenship" in any bill consid-
cred, and on this point the real fight
on the measure will be waged.
1t is not expected that the Thomp-
son Birdsall bill will be reached on
file until Thursday and no action can
| be taken until tnat time.
President Wilson's message today
called forth little comment. The DEM
ocratic minority already had formulat-
ed it's view largely in accordance with
the Bryan message that came last
Saturday, and the Progressive Repuo-
lican majority, as shown by Governor
Johnson's response, declined to con-
slider the Presidents telegram as a
demand upon the Legislature to enact
particular kind of bill. Gov. John
son received President Wilson's tele-
gram of protest against the alien land
billie at II o'clock and Immediately
had it copied into special message TO
both houses of the Legislature No
comment was offered by the Governor
and the message to the Legislature con-
Itained only formal prefix that the
message had been received.
