This camp, which is open to boys under

since agricultural subjects will be
taught as well as forestry. This state

Mr.. Bryan referred to an attempt to
drop the negotia tions for an adjustment
of the issue by some legislation by Con-
gress to confirm the rights OF Japanese
now in the United States to own and
lease land, and new treaty looking to
recognition of the rights of Japanese to
