ITALY ALSO PROTESTS
ARIZONA LABOR LAW
Official Attitude of the British Gov
eminent Not Yet De-
termined.

The Italian ambassador, Count di Gel
lere, called personally at the State De-
partment yesterday to lodge a protest
against the Arizona law. which re-
quires at least 80 per cent of certain
employees in that state to be American
citizens.
Apparently the British enbassy has
not arrived as yet at decision as to
the attitude to be assumed by the
British government toward the new
Arizona labor law. 1t was stated that
a mass meeting of British subjects
Ariz.. to protest against the law
placing Limitation upon their en-
ployment as direct violation of the
treaty of trade and commerce between
the United States and Great Britain
The British consul at Douglas had
transmitted the resolution ADOPTED by
the mass meeting to the embassy and
the embassy laid it before the State
Department without adding any in
dorsement or expression of opinion.
British May Hesitate.
1t is believed in official circles that
the British government will hesitate
to commit itself formally to a protest
against the Arizona law. in view OIL
the fact that there is supposed to be
a direct relation between that legisla-
ton and the anti-Japanese legislation
in California, which finds its counter
part in laws adopted by British Column
bia and Australia.
Viscount Chinda, japanese amnassa-
dar, who called on Secretary Bryan
Yesterday afternoon. said he had seen
the reports concerning the Arizona 80
per cent law, and intimated that con-
sideration probably would be given to
the matter by the embassy, but he as
serted that his visit to the departm ent
