BRYAN TELEGRAM
IS NOT ANSWERED
GOVERNOR JOHNSON DELAYS
SENDING A REPLY TO MES
SAGE OF SECRETARY.
TILL JUNE is TO CONSIDER
Anti-Alien Land Bill Controversy May
Not Be Settled Before Then
If Vetoed, Federal Diplo-
macy Will Result.

Sacramento, Cal, May 14.-Govern-
or Johnson has not yet replied to the
message of President Wilson and Sec
rotary of State Bryan asking that he
veto the Webb anti-alien land bill.
No Need of Haste.
The governor has until June 16 to
sign the measure and therefore there
is no immediate need of haste in
answering the president, except to ac-
knowledge the receipt of his tele-
gram.
1t was understood at the capitol
that the chief executive was so busy
with details incidental to the adjourn
ment of the legislature that he decid-
ed to postpone. taking up the new
angle of the anti-alien issue.
Text of Protest Withheld.
Washington.-The administration is
awaiting a reply either by message or
by action from Governor johnson to
Secretary Bryan's telegram requesting
that he veto the alien land bill passed
by the California legislature and give
the state department an opportunity
to deal automatically with the prob
lens involved.
In some quarters it had been ex-
pected that the text of the Japanese
protest would be given publicity i'm
mediately but apparently the officials
concluded that full publicity at this
stage would only embarass the nego-
tiations. Therefore, the state depart
ment declined to make any statement
as to the precise nature of the Japan
csc communication and the secretary,
in answer to inquiry on that point,
simply pointed to his own message
in which he referred to the Japanese
communication as "a very earnest pro-
test"
Bryan Is Taciturn.
Secretary Bryan let it be known
that if legislation in California is
postponed the state department will
undertake to deal automatically with
the Japanese government regarding
the whole subject of alien land owner
ship affecting Japanese in America
Meanwhile, he declines to indicate the
course that will be followed by the
department in the event that his ap-
peal is disregarded by the California
executives.
