JAPAN STILL SILENT
Makes No Reply to Last Note
of United States on
Land Law.

Though nearly two weeks have expired
since the delivery to Ambassador Chinda
Of the American reply to the last Japa-
nese note. no intimation has reached
Washington Of a purpose on the part Of
the japanese foreign office to continue the
correspondence
The administration Is resting in the
hope that its last pronouncement on the
subject has satisfied the Japanese govern
ment Of two facts Of Importance: that
there has actually been no violation of the
treaty rights OF the japanese by the alien
land legislation, and that recourse must
be had to the courts to determine the
question of the effect of the Webb law
upon such broad rights and privileges of
the Japanese as are guaranteed by inter-
national law and comfy.
1t is believed here that the entire at
tention of the japanese foreign Office Is
at present absorbed by the critical con-
dition in nearby China, which might in
nuence the Japanese government to at
least suspend the negotiations with the
United States until test case has been
tried to a conclusion in California, some
time after August 10. when the anti-alien
land act becomes effective.

NO ATTENTION TAKEN
Of VETERANS PLANT
Interior Department Has No
Official Notice of Pension
Office Changes.

The Interior Department has not yet
taken cognizance of the recent changes
which have been made at the pension Of
fee. Nor Is 1t likely that any notice will
be taken. unless Congress should pass the
Tennessee. calling upon Secretary Lane
Of the Interior Department to inform
Congress just what changes have been
made affecting the old veterans.
Secretary Lane is now In the west on
a trip of inspection. Acting Secretary
Jones declared that he had heard moth
ing OF the changes, said he had not had
time to read the papers. and would not
look into the matter unless 1t was
brought officially before the department
in some way.
Complaints Not Expected.
It Is not believed that the OWL service
commission will take tho matter up at
the present time. unless some one who
has been denoted should appeal to the
department. This seems to be entirely
unlikely. for those who have been at
fected seem to feel that their positions
might be further endangered by COM
planning to the commission.
So far as could be learned today none
Of the other bureaus Of the Interior De-
partment, or any Of The other depart
tons for political reasons. An Official
Of the Interior Department. who would
not allow the use of his name, said he
did not believe the changes In the pen
sion bureau were warranted under the
civil service rules and regulations.
