AN7|-AL|EN BILL TO PASS
DECKS CLEARED FOR FINAL &C.
TON IN CALIFORNIA.
Majority Is Confident Of Overcoming
Efforts to Amend the Land
Measure.

Sacramento, Cal. May IAN open
right of way for final action in the
California senate on the Webb anti
alien land act has been prepared by
the floor leaders in the upper house,
and a. concrete expression of the leg
islature's attitude toward Secretary of
State Bryan's diplomatic visit will be
at hand in the shape OF a vote on
the most drastic land holding act yet
proposed immediately.
There has been vice discussion Of
the new bill although little criticism
was forthcoming from the standpoint
of California.
In comparison with various drafts
that preceded it, the Webb act is said
to be more drastic and effective in
reaching the Japenes farmers of the
state than any other proposed meas
ure. and at the same time least OBJ
iectionable of all from an International
point of view.
Senator Thompson said that the
bill provided immediate and direct
solution of the Japanese problem and
to this extent is the most rigid and
uncomrromising measure that has
been suggested.
Senator Thompson denied that the
wording Of the act, or any part Of it
can be taken as concession to the
objections of Secretary Bryan, and
Governor Johnson stated that from
what he understood of the situation
the measure did not have the ap.
prevail Of President Wilson.
A close study of the Webb bill
shows the extent of the restrictions
placed upon aliens who are not per.
mitted to become citizens. although
the limitations are precisely those
imposed in the existing treaties be,
tween the United States and Japan,
China and other nations whose sub.
jects are ineligible. According to
Senator Thompson, who has made a
| study of the bill, the theory is as
| follows:
| Only citizens and those eligible tc
becoming citizens may be rronrietors
Of land. They may employ Japanese
and Chinese. but they cannot lease OF
otherwise give such aliens an interes,
! or share in their rroprjetorship. Such
land as is now held by Japanese an6
Chinese cannot he bequeathed tc
| their alien heirs. It must Ne sold.
