Sacramento, Calf. April 29.-Cali-
fornia. in the fullness of her right as
state may enact a rigid land law
barring Orientals from ownership, but
such action would be against the earn
est wish of the national administra-
ton
This is the substance of the mes
sage of William Jennings Bryan, sec
retary of state and personal represen-
tative of President Wilson, delivered
to a secret conference attended only
by Governor johnson, Lieutenant Gov
ernor Wallace and the 100 members
OF the California Legislature.
The Impression prevailed here,
when the conference adjourned, that
the resolve of the majority leaders
previously announced, to enact a bill
specifically debarring "aliens ineligi-
BILE to citizenship" from owning land
in California -emained unchanged
Governor Johnson indicated this
with the representative of the Presi-
dent.
Secretary Bryan arrived in Sacra-
mento at O'Clock Monday morning.
With his consent plans were laid for
an immediate hearing and shortly af-
ter II o'clock the first session of the
conference began.
Those who expected Secretary Bry-
an to expound new theory of states
rights were disappointed, as were
those who expected predictions of
war
Advice. in the name of President
The Elbert County tribune., 1913-05-02

Wilson, was al, Mr.. Bryan had to Of
fer, and the paramount question here
is whether such advice will overcome
the previously announced determine
tion of the Progressive majority to en-
act an anti-alien land holding law
along the lines already agreed upon.
Secretary Bryan reaffirmed the
states right to act in : manner it saw
fit, but suggested several alternatives
to the passage of bill restricting
aliens ineligible to citizenship" bas-
ing his reason on the board founda-
tion of public policy. Briefly, the al
ternatives in the order in which they
were suggested are as follows:
1. Delay immediate action and al
low the State Department to try to ac-
complish the ends desired, by means
of a new treaty with Japan.
2. Delay immediate action end ap-
point a committee to investigate the
subject of alien land ownership and
in securing relief.
3. Enact law similar to the stat
ute in Illinois which permits aliens to
hold land for n period not exceeding
six years and applies alike to all
aliens.
A. Enact law similar to the fed
eral statute governing land ownership
in the District of Columbia, which is
general law applying to all aliens.
OF these alternatives, it may safely
be said, according to leaders in the
Legislature, that the last two are out
of the question.
Many Democrats favor turning the
matter over to the State Department,
while the Progressive majority appar
emily remains unchanged in support of
a bill that would apply Its restrictions
to Orientals alone.
The conference with Secretary Bry.
an served to show the breadth of the
sentiment in favor of an alien land
law that shall be effective in checking
the Japanese and Chinese immigra-
tion. A dozen or more senators and
assemblymen declared the people of
the state were almost a unit in de-
manding such law. and 1t was threat
ened that unless the Legislature act
at this time. the matter would be
taken up through the initiative and
passed by the people themselves.
The conference opened with Lieu
tenant Governor Wallace in the chair

do not pretend to do other than ex-
press his views.
"As to the constitutionality of our
treaty with Japan, you will pardon me
II l decline to act as the supreme
court. Further. as to the question of
immigration, l think we can consider
that question as Independent of the
land question with which we are here
concerned.
1 have listened to what you have
said and l assume everything to be
true; that you have not overdrawn
nor exaggerated the feeling of the
people of California.
In that case the first question is
whether the legislation is demanded
at this time. If 1t can be delayed,
then the first suggestion that the
President would have me make is that
you permit an effort to be made to
deal with the question automatically.
with view to reaching the same re-
suits without legislation.
IF the demand is so Immediate that
this cannot be done, can action be de-
ferred for two years, and in the mean
time have a commission appointed to
investigate conditions and act with
the executive? Would 1t not be worth
while to try this plan before you
adopt the plan that might result in
unfriendliness from foreign nation?
Il am not going to indulge in any
speculations as to what may happen
II you do anything now, but am here
to advise against the use of any lam
guage that would offend any people
that have dealings with u.s."
In case immediate action was de-
manded, Secretary Bryan said, he
would be in favor of a law along the
lines of the Illinois law. or the federal
statute in the District of Columbia
both of which are general in char
acter.
Either of these measures is prefer
able to language that includes the
words Ineligible to citizenship add
ed Mr. Bryan. President Wilson be-
lieves that If you use these words you
might as well make law declaring
specifically against Japanese and
Chinese ownership.
This expresses the views of the
President. He desires me to say that
If such a law is passed. he will recog-
nize his duty as President to do all In
his power to minimize the ill-feeling
that might be aroused. At the same
time, he believes 1t his duty as Pres
ident to urge earnest consideration of
his advice, which is given here with
no desire to interfere with what you
may regard as necessary. And further,
he urges that IL you proceed at once,
you consider the advisibility of using
language that cannot be justly criti-
cised as offending those nations with
whom we are friendly"
Governor johnson made a brief, but
intense. speech in defense of the posi-
tion taken by the majority party in
California. He told Secretary Bryan
that the right of California to follow
the lead of other states was unques-
toned, and declared that such a
course now seems assured. When
Governor Johnson took his seat there
was general feeling that the alien
land situation had been settled. re-
gardless of what may be forthcoming
from Washington.
Secretary Caminetti attempted to
make a heated attack upon Governor
Johnson, whom he criticised for not
fnvoring the land bills two years ago.
but was checked on a point Of order,
and the conference adjourned imme-
diately.
