Washington, Feb. 2.--Japan's rep
reservations to the United States
against the anti-alien land bills pend
ing in the Idaho and Oregon leg
isatures, although made informally
through its embassy here, are consid-
cred no less serious at this critical
juncture OF international affairs than
its protests against the California
laws four years ago. ...
Absolutely nothing had been per-
mitted by the administration to be-
come public until the protest was dis
closed by appeals to the Oregon
and Idaho delegations in congress to
use their influence at home to prevent
passage of the bills at this time.
The state of feeling in Japan, prob
ably much disturbed by the recent
crisis in the government, has been
represented to the State department
as being so serious that the Japanese
statesmen who wish to preserve
friendly relations with the United

URGE AGAINST BREAK NOW

Deed Unlikely Before

NO COMMUNICATION SENT

Washington, Feb. AT a confer
ence of President Wilson with sem
ate members, it was learned that Sen
ator Stone. chairman of the foreign
relations committee and Senator
L,wis of Illinois, felt that no imme-
diate breach with Germany would be
justified, that the course to be taken
was to stand on the assumption that
Germany did not intend to imperil
American citizens or property, but
that the very first act against the
United States should be the signal for
the rupture.
When President Wilson left the
capitol after two hours of confer
,cnces with members of the senate,
one senator, who had talked with
him. said break in diplomatic re-
lations with Germany practically was
certain

The president himself told the
newspaper men only that he had come

say whether anything would be done
tonight
There was generally discussion Of
all these plans" said the senator
But in my judgment the opinion Of
the majority was to break relations
at once and give Bernstorff his pass

Three Propositions.
Three propositions, it was said,
were discussed in the conference.
There were: To break off diplomatic
relations with Germany and give Am
bassador Bernstorff his passports to-
morrow. = ,
To wait until some overt act had
been committed aaginst the rights Of
the United States by Germany be-
fore taking any action.
To re-de6ne this governments posi-
ton in the light of Germany's ruthless
submarine campaign.
The president was asked if he con-
tcmplated addressing congress

Senator Fletcher said the president
had as yet done nothing, but came to
seek the advice of senators as to
what he should do. He said it was not

which announced at 4 o'clock one
day that Germany would begin unre-
stricted warfare at midnight.
Senator Fletcher said the senti-
ment of all present was that no more
communications should be sent to
Germany, whatever course is pursued.
He said many senators favored break
ing off relations, but he added that
it would not be correct to say that
the majority favored it Immediately.

crowd in the face. and said:

And with an indescribable look at

In response to a request from SEN
ate leaders for assistance in solving
the difficulties standing in the way

to Democratic Leader Martin a per-
sonal letter recommending the gen
eral purposes of the bill for govern

Iieved unnecessary the extension OF
government control of steel, iron,
copper, cotton, wool, leather and 9TH
er products.
The substitute bill drawn by Sena-
tor Gore was opposed by the Presi-
dent as an emasCulation Of the ad-
ministration legislation. He. wrote

position of the legislation impera-
tive.
