REPLY DRAFTED TO
JAPANS PROTEST
PRESIDENT WILSON CONFERS
WITH SECRETARY BRYAN IN
DOING THIS.
DEFINES POSITION OF U. S.
Governments Attitude Toward Cali
fornia Alien Bill Is Fully Ex-
planned, 1t Is Under
stood.

Washington, May 16.-President VIII
son conferred with Secretary Bryan
early today before the cabinet meet
ing to draft reply to the formal pro-
test by Japan against the California
anti-alien land bill which Governor
johnson has announced he will sign.
Fully Defines Position.
The note will be submitted to the
cabinet and then delivered to the Jap:
anese ambassador Indications are
that the attitude of the federal govern
ment toward the legislation itself as
we'll as questions of discrimination
raised by Japan have been fully de-
fined.
Governor Johnson's decision to sign
the California anti-alien land bill de-
spite Japan's protests, was unofticially
communicated to Viscount Chinda, the
Japanese ambassador, as matter CT
information with the understanding
that Secretary Bryan may present
later Governor Johnson's answer Off
cially.
Interest has been excited by Gov
ernor Johnson's quotation of that part
of the California law which appears to
limit his action, so far as it recog-
nizes Japanese rights to the existing
treaty of 1911 and there is some specu-
lation as to whether that was intended
to foreshadow a refusal on the part of
the California authorities to be bound
by the stipulations OF any treaty that
hereafter may be negotiated between
the United States and Japan that
would appear to be in conflict with the
provisions of the new law.
See Nothing New.
Officials here fail to discover any
point not suggested to Secretary Bryan
when he was in Sacramento with the
probable exception of reference to the
fact that the present state legislation,
in terms, sanctions and even requires
the enactment of such legislation as
the Webb act.
