Measure.

Washington, ID. C.-Arizona's new
alien land law is not regarded here
as seriously conplicating The ncgo-
tiations with Japan. because the act
doesn't contain the same direct bar
against the japanese as the Caliior-
nit act. II is expected, however, that
because OF its adverse effect upon
Mexican landowners in Arizona, a
protest will be made by the Mexican
government, even In view of the
rather irregular status OF diplomatic
relations between the United States
and Mexico.
With both the United States and
tho Japaneae governments awaiting
the action of Governor Johnson, the
possibility of postponing the opera
ton OF the proposed California law
by invoking the referendum is again
being discussed in official circles. Cal
1fOrnians here say ii is doubtful il
the necessary 10000 signatures
could be obtained for a referendum.
