JAPANESE Want
new U.S.. TREATY
Exchange Of Notes on Califor-
MIA Alien Land Law Prac-
ticaIly Abandoned.
DELAY IS TO BE POLICY
Government Is Watching Develop
ments in Canada, Where Japs
Are Not Welcome.

Argumentative discussion of the Cali
fornia alien land law controversy has
been practically abandoned by the gov
ernments Of Japan and the United States.
The understanding. according to itima-
tions in official quarters yesterday, was
that both governments have concluded
that il Is useless to argue the matter
further on the basis of Interpretation
of the American-Japanese treaty OF 1911,
on which Japan based her protest against
the California act aimed to prevent JAP
anese from owning farm lands in that
State.
The legal phases of the controversy
have been discussed exhaustively in the
exchanges of notes in the last five
months The net result has been that
the matter stands exactly where 1t did
at the outset. Neither party has yielded
an iota of its position. Now, 1t is under
stood, the point has been reached where
both sides admit that other means must
be resorted to.
The discussions henceforth, it is under
stood, will center upon the japanese pro-
posal of a new treaty, in which their
subjects resident in the United States
shall be guaranteed the right Of owning
land in this country.
No Reply by L. $. Yet.
The Japanese argue that in view Of
that the government is most friendly
disposed toward Japanses aspirations,
certainly the United States can have
no objection to granting to the Japan
ese specifically the same rights of land
ownership as are given to all other
aliens in this country.
The United States has not yet made
any reply to the suggestion OF the
Japanese, though admitting the impos-
Of nrhf fnrp a
discussing the legal phases Of the
question. 1t is believed here, more
over, that the issue will be avoided
Just as long as il is possible to do So
as to meet il squarely would greatly
embarass this government. Compl-
cations with the Senate, on the one
hand, snd with Japan on the other, are
sure to result fromIa decision In tavor
of or against the japanese contentious.
Wait for Panama Canal.
The policy will be, it is believed, to go
Just as slowly as possible in the ensuing
discussions. Japan is now awaiting
reply to the note last delivered by Am
bassador Chinda. It is considered that
the United States has everything to gain.
The completion of the Panama Canal is
a great underlying factor, in view OF
what il means 90 the improvement of |
the naval situation of the United States
in the Pacific Ocean.
Another development, which Washing
ton is watching with interest. is the anti
Japanese movement in British Columbia
The provincial government has gone SO
far as to take the matter up with the
imperial British government, and has
served notice that the citizens of British
Columbia do not intend to permit en-
.roachmeI.t by the japanese.
In view of Great Britain's influence
With Japan, owing to their treaty OF
lIliance. it is believed that the situation
n Western Canada may have much effect
IN the present controversy between the
United States and Japan.

titled Christmas At Homeburg." Fol-
lowing is an extract:
There aren't enough people in
Homeburg to make a Christmas Jam,
but we have our own line Of troubles
The question in Homeburg is not how
to keep from spending SO much money
but how to spend what we have. The
storekeepers don't pamper US. In
fact they are severe with us. If we
don't buy what they offer the first
year, they store it up and we have to
take it the next Christmas. When
the Homeburg storekeepers have had
a bad season, it's UP to US to 60 back
the next year and face the same old
line of junk, knowing it will be there
until we give i'm and buy it. The1v are
two Christmas gift edition copies of
Trilby still on sale in Homeburg, and
Dorling the druggist has had ten
dollar manicure set ON sale for ten
years now. He won't get another,
either. Says he was stung on the
first one and he's going to get his
money back before he goes in any
deeper. 1t goes down about fifty
cents a year in price, and last year

dollars and seventy-five cents for

Boxes are of little protection, unless
solidly packed. Most boxes had bet
ter be packed, then wrapped 10 paper.
Whether box or package, it should be
done up with the knowledge that IL
must stand crowding into mail bags,
and other rough treatment
The addressing is importantly
should be in ink, and plainly written
The name and address or sender
should. appear in upper left-hano
corner.
All fragile objects, such as glass
toys, or millinery, should be we'll
packed in excelsior, or cotton, even
if the weight of the package be ma
terially increased.
Candies and fruits should be packed
in uncrushable boxes, and al snarI
instruments should be protected
against piercing the wrapp1ngs.
Remember that books are third

confident that II Secretary Lanes
Sneech represented the views or the

~ the country should feel encouraged
eo far as the attitude Of Washington
l. concerned. Mr.. Lane, in most in
taresting way, told his hearers that
The carriers were the very life-Dlood
NJ the country; that the success Of
business depended on them, and their
ahility to meet the demands for trans
nortation facilities at all times, and
that il was most necessary to lnain-

Dublic men do take the correct view
Of the railroad situation and realize
the part that the carriers play in
contributing to the real prosperity Of
the United States. Railroad men at
the Washington gathering, after lis
tening to the secretary, felt that one
man in Washington fully appreciated
the worth of the railroads"
Mr.. Lane also told Of the import
ance of providing some adequate sys-
tenn Of inland waterways, not DIS a
means of supplanting any of the car
riers in the matter Of transporting
commerce, but simply as step for
ward toward providing additional
facilities for the movement Of traffic.
The inland waterways, he said, would
act as valuable feeders for the roads,
and that, in this way, the roads them
selves would be greatly benefited"
