no provision in it for the acquire
ment and holding of land Ivy either
Americans or Japanese, and there are
many other omissions which do not
appear in the commercial treaties
with other nations.
Secretary Bryan's suggestion In re-
gard to the negotiation of a new
treaty, to replace the present one was
picked out by Washington officials
as the most interesting development
in his negotiations yesterday with the
California legislature. II is believed
the question OF the possibility of
framing a new treaty satisfactory
alike to the Californians and Japan
ese. within a reasonable time was con-
sidered at today's Cablnet meeting.
This phase of the situation accounts
also for another visit which Niscount

The impression here, however, Is that
the negotiations of a new treaty in

most concession that the Wilson adj
