]APAN'S TWO NOTES
ANSWERED BY j. S.
American Officials Believe Re-.
ply Meets Complaints OF
Anti-AIien Land Law.
HOPE NEGOTIATIONS ENDED
State Department Looks to the
japanese to Take Initiative
in Submitting California
Act to Courts.

Washington, July l6.-The American re-
ply to the last two japanese notes on the
California anti-alien land law was de-
livcred to-day BY Secretary Bryan to Am
bassador Chlnda, who cabled it to Toxic
As I'm the case of the preceding notes. the
contents OF tn. latest communication
we're withheld from publication.
There is some expectation in official
circles that the delivery Of this note will
conclude the negotiations on this subject
between the two countries for the present
at least, II not altogether. 1t is declared
that the American reply to the various
points of objection TO the California legis-
laton has been made so complete as to
remove most of them from the field Of
discussion. Even in cases where the
Japanese contcations have not been
maufestly completely negatiyed. the eX-
pert dipomatists are said to have so
framed their responses as to reduce the
points to clear issues. which probably can
be adjusted only on the basis of judicial
decisions
The result has been reached through the
exchange Of five notes, the negotiations
beginning May last with the original
prote by Japan against the projected
alien land owning act by the California
Legislature This elected q reply from
Secretary BRYAN on May Is. as soon as he
had been advised of the actual signature
OF the Webb act by Governor Johnson.
on June ( the japanese government filed
its rejoinder. and on July this was sup
plemcnted by an elaborate expansion Of
the arguments.
Unless the japanese Foreign Office con-
GUIDES that there is something In the
American note delivered to-day requiring
immediate attention and reply. probably
there will be no further diplomatic eX-
change for at least another month. At
the expiration of that time the Webb
alien land owning act will become effcc-
tive, and the way will be opened for a
judicial test Of It's consttutionality.
The State Department is looking TO the
Japanese government TO at least take the
initiative In securing judicial determine
ton of the question as to whether this
act is in conflict with existing treaties or
whether it violates privileges to which
the japanese are entitled under the broad
principles OF international law. While the
Japanese negotiators have unotficially eN-
pressed the opinion that it is the duty OF
the American government to make this
test, following precedent established
during the Roosevelt administration in
connection with tho exclusion Of japanese
pupils from American public schools, the
state Department has declined TO accept
this view.
Officials suggested to-day that the Jap
anese government would be in better POSI-
ton to resume the consideration OF It's
