WILSON SEES NO
CAUSE FOR ALARM
Negotiations With Japan Pro.
ceeding Satisfactorily.

Washington, May 13.-President
Wilson believes negotiations between
Japan and the United States over the
alien land legislation in California are
not in an alarming stage, but that the
interchange of views thus far had
been along frank and friendly lines
calculated to remove the appearance
of discrimination against Japanese
subjects.
The president, discussing the sub
ject informally, took the position that
the Webb bill would not violate the
treaty between Japan and the United
States. He intimated that Japan's
protest was not founded upon claim
that the treaty would be broken in
any way. but upon the feeling that
there was an effort to discriminate
against Japan on the ground of their
alleged ineligibility to citizenship.
The president revealed that the
question of naturalization had not yet
entered the discussion with the Japa'
nese ambassador.
