Wilson's Message.

President Wilson's telegram to Gov
ernor johnson was as follows:
Il speak upon the assumption which
l am sure is Wen founded, that the
people of California don't desire their
representatives-and that their rep
resentativcs don't wish or intend
in any circumstances to embarrass
the government of the United States
in its dealings with a nation with
whom it has most earnestly and cor
daily sought to maintain relations of
genuine friendship and good will ana
that least Of all do they desire to Do
anything that might impair treat
obligations or cast doubt upon th&
honor and good faith Of the nation
and its government.
II therefore appeal with the utmosr
confidence to the people, the governul
and the Legislature to act in the mat
ter now under consideration in a man
ner that cannot from any point o.
view be fairly challenged or called Itr
question.
If they deem 1t necessary to eN-
clude all aliens who have not declared
their intention to become citizens
they can do 50 along lines ALREADY
followed in laws of many other states
and of many foreign countries, includ
ing Japan herself

Sacramento. Cal, April %. -
Through the exchange of telegram
today between President Wilson and
Governor Johnson the settled police
of the California administration on
the question of alien land ownership
as agreed upon last sunday, was Off
cialiy made known
Governor Johnson and his party
leaders in the senate favored land

aliens who are ineligible to citizen
ship under the laws of the United
States. and such a law probably will
be passed in spite of the objections
from Washington.
The assertion is made by the gov
ernor that the state has fun author
ity to enact such a law, and that it
would not be in contraventon OF any
existing treaty. lie is upheld in this
view by the majority leaders in the
senate, who met with him today and
