TOXIC, April 23-The Japanese
government has noted with much
pleasure the kilograms sent by Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary Bryan to
Governor johnson OF California re-
garding the proposed alien land bill,
and the conservative press today ex-
pressed qualification at the official at
titude apparently adopted by the UNI,

Popular clamor against California
action gradually is subsiding, the
people apparently coming more te
trust the government than the dema
gogues who are using the foreign in
cident as pretext upon which to en-
barrass the present ministry.
The official view is that the oper
friendliness of the federal govern
ment in the United States will pre-
vent the California legislature from
enacting any law that would be al
open slap at Japan. Japan has al
alien realty law and the people ar
aware that many Of the American
