PRESIDENT CONCERNED
 OVER ANTI-ALFEN BILL
But Not Disposed to Interfere in Mat
 ter of State Legislation.

Washington, April 19.-Presbdent Wilson kept in close touch today with the situation both in Japan and Cali fornta over the proposed alien land Legislation. He read with interest the dispatches from Tokio describing pop ular feeling against the bills and stud jed the text of the pending measures as we'll aS & synopsis or similar laws in New York and Texas.
 The president told his callers that the federal government must of ne- cessity refrain from interference with California while in the pPocesa of leg islating and could not mako it's att1- tude known to inquiring nations until the bills were passed. He added, how ever that if any impression had been circulated in Japan that the admin - istration here had become indifferent to the developments in California. such 8 view was unjustified and that JIldE- ment as to the measures should be withheld until they are finally framed and passed.
 In the meantime the president de- clared that every effort was being made to keep in communication tn~ formally with the California legfsla -s ton. It Is unlikely that the president will communicate his views directly or take any step that wiM interfere with the legislative procesSs but ha hopes through members of congress here to do his utmost to prevent any obvious violation Of treaty obligations Should treaty rights be violated he Is hopeful that Japan will withhold 1udS- ment until the American courts have dealt with the question .-@.se-..as $
