PRESIDENT WILSON WIRES Gov
ERNOR OF CALIFORNIA NOT
TO SIGN LAW.
SAYS HE WANTS JAPS TREATED FAIR
TO Our Government Against the
Measure-President Would
Defer Action.

Washington.-The federal govern
ment's final effort to delay anti-alien
land owning legislation in California
was made Sunday, when Secretary
Bryan, in the name of President Will
son, telegraphed Governor Johnson no.
tifying him that the Japanese ambas-
sador had earnestly protested against
the bill passed by the California as
sembly, and urging that the governor
postpone action by Withholding his sig
nature.
Secretary Bryan's telegram was as
follows:
"The president directs me to ex-
press his appreciation of your courtesy
in delaying action on the land bill now
before you until it's provisions could
be communicated to the Japanese gov
eminent and considered by it.
Tells of Japanese Protest.
Ellis excellency, Baron Chinda, on
behalf of his government, has present
ed an earnest protest against the
measure. AS you have before you but
veto, it will avail nothing to recall to
your attention the amendments sug-
gested to the legislature; and as the
president has already laid before you
his views on the subject it is unneces-
sary to reiterate them. He passes
over questions affecting treaty rights
for two reasons, first, because the bill
passed by the legislature is avowedly
intended to conform. to treaty obliga-
tons and, second, because any conflict
complained of would be a matter for
the courts.
Desires Action Deferred.
"But the president feels justified in
expressing again his desire that action
on the subject be deferred for this ses-
sion, and he expresses the desire the
more freely because the legislature
can be reconvened at any time if the
welfare of the state requires it. He is
full valve to the Importance of remov.
ing any note of discord which may ere.
ate antagonism between American cit
liens and the subjects of oriental ma
lions residing here, but he is impelled
by sense of duty to express the hope
that you will see fit to allow time for
diplomatic efforts. The nations affect.
ed by the proposed law are friendly
nations-nations that have shown
themselves willing to cooperate in the
establishment of harmonious relations
between their people and ours.
eff postponement commends itself
to your judgment the president will be
pleased to cooperate in a systematic
effort to discover and correct any evils
that may exist in connection with land
ownership by aliens"
Until Governor Johnson's reply is
received the government probably will
make no reply to the protest of Japan
further than to acquaint the ambassa-
dor with the fact that every possible
effort has been made to have action in
California delayed pending a settle
ment of the problems involved by di-
plomacy.

OFFERED BY PRESIDENT WILSON
TO ALL NATIONS is THE
LATEST.
OUTLINED IN SPEECH By ". J. BRYAN
No Other Nation Is Better Situated or
Better Prepared to Set Example
in interest of Peace Than
Those of United States.

New York.-William Jennings Brv.
an, speaking at a dinner given recently
in honor of the foreign members of
the international conference that is
arranging the celebration of 100 wears
of peace among English-speaking peo-
pies, declared that the new peace plan
offered by President Wilson to all
nations is the latest and longest stem
toward peace.
Secretary Explains Scheme.
The secretary of state said in part:
1--WE have three great forces at work
throughout the world, forces that work
constantly and irresistibly and every
one of these forces makes for peace
l bring them before you, a growing
intelligence and increasing understand
ing of the doctrine of brotherhood and
growing power of the people to con-
troll their destinies through the con-
troll of the government. This nation
must be willing to extend it's hand to
all those who come from any direction
in the interest of peace. No nation
shall outstrip us in its advocacy of
peace.
mo other nation is better situated
or better prepared to set an example
in the interest of peace than this, and
am glad on this occasion to make
reference to the act of our president
that embodies this thought in Ian
guage.
"A short time ago at his direction
| summoned the representatives of Sc
nations represented at Washington
that l might for him simultaneously
present through their governments, a
proposition in which the president ex-
presses not only his willingness, but
his desire to enter into agreement
with every nation, great or small, that
so far as our nation and that contract
ing nation is concerned there will be
no war, no declaration, no commence
ment of hostilities until the question
in dispute has been investigated by an
international tribunal and its report
made known.
