Predict Passage Today
by California of Land Law

will reach the webb bill this afternoon
but a long debate is anticipated be-
fore a vote is reached Secretary
Bryan returned from San Francisco
early today and will attend the SEN
ate session during the discussion of
the measure. The general feeling
among legislators is that the bill does
not violate the existing Japanese
American treaties. II Is pointed out
that the restrictions OF the measure
relating TO the right to own or lease
land in California are virtually the
same as those imposed by the Japan
csc treaty.
Japanese and other ineligible
aliens" under the bill may own resi-
dental property but are positively
forbidden TO own or lease land for
farming or agricultural purposes. In
this regard. the Webb measure is re-
garded as more drastic even than the
Birdsall bill for which il was sub
stituted
The Birdsall measure permitted
Japanese TO lease agricultural lands
for three years. whereas under the
Webb bill. they may not lease such
lands at all.
1t is asserted that the effect Of the
Webb measure would be to end abso-
lutely all Japanese farming colonies
In California.
There was widespread interest
among legislators today as to what at
titude President Wilson would take or
the measure. That he does not ap.
prove Of it seems certain. inasmuch as
Secretary Bryan has told Governor
johnson that It was unsatisfactory.
