Bryan Refused Comment.

Secretary Bryan declined to COM
ment upon the new bill except in the
conference.
The principal features of the bill
are as follows:
All aliens eligible to citizenship
may acquire and hold land In the
same manner as citizeL of the United
States.
2.-All other aliens may acquire
and hold land "in the manner and to
the extent and for the purposes pre-
scribed by any treaty now existing
between the government Of the United
States and the nation or country of
which such alien is citizen or sub
Ject
3.-COrporatlons composed of aliens
other than those who are eligible to
citizenship may acquire and hold land
only according to the terms of exist
Ing treaties.
i.-Present holdings Of aliens. re-
gardless Of their rights to citizenship.
are protected.
5-The state specifically reserves its
sovereign right to enact any and all
laws relating to the acquisition or
holding of real property by aliens
Webb's Theory Of II.
Attorney General webb worked up
or the theory that there could be no
objection to writing into the statute
the specific limitations Of the Japan.
ese treaty OF 1911. Under the terms
of this treaty Japanese subjects are
permitted to own houses and lands
for residential purposes. factories.
manufactures and shops" according
to Mr.. Webb Another clause per-
mits Japanese subjects to lease land
for residential and commercial pur-
poses"
These are the only stiplations made
and It is the belief of the attorney
general that the rights of Japanese
subjects to land ownership In the
United States stop at this point Under
his construction of the treaty, no land
can be owned or leased by a japanese
for agricultural purposes except that
which Is already so owned, or for any
other purposes except those get forth
IN lNF agreement uflNftU luF HdllblN.
Explaining the wording Of the sub
sttute bill, Mr. webb said:
"Our theory is that at the time the
treaty was framed, Japan asked for
all the rights as to ownership Of land
in California that that nation desired
for her subjects, and that the treaty
ss 1t now stands represents all that
Japan asked, and all that the United
States was willing to grant.
This act does not draw the line up
on aliens who ar ineligible to citizen
ship. Those words are not used. II
gives. not only to Japanese. but to
every nation whose subjects are in
eligible to citizenship under the laws
Of the United States. the full rights to
ownership of land In California. that
the treaties between the United States
and the such nations give"
II is generally believed that the new
act would accomplish the needs said
to be desired by the people of the
state. namely. prevention of the fur
ther acquisition by japanese subjects
Of farming lands and ranches.
