the close of the campaign.
Owing to the evenness of the stand

exciting unless some candidate FORCES

JAP BILL QUERY
ROLLS SENATOR
Phelan Calls Appeal of Cali
fornia Legislators to Presi-
dent "Subservient."

San Francisco. April 6.-United
States Senator james D. Phelan to-
day issued a scorching statement as
an answer to the California legis-
lators in seeking the advice OF
President Wilson as to whether
they should legislate against the
Japanese. The act of the legisla-
ture was declared to be subservient.
His statement follows:
1T is unfortunate that politics in
Sacramento is preferred to princi-
pie.
"A few years ago the same legis-
lature resented the interference OF
the President. Now they subserv-
iently seek it.
There is no violation Of the
treaty in the proposed land law
adopted. Japan forbids and restricts
ownership of her soil by foreign
ers. Bravo for Japan.
Our legislators should have the
sense and courage of the Japanese
The time to act is not only op-
,portune, but vital. The conference
is debating the Japanese demand
for race equality If granted, the
league will be behind Japan's de-
mands and the legislature might
as well adjourn, for our democratic
nolicv will be governed from Paris
Can any action be more insane
than for the legislature Of California
to abandon its functions? Worse than
that IL has asked the Secretary oi
State practically to prohibit them
from passing laws to protect Ine "ih'e
nopulation of California 1t is
shameful situation.
Instead of averting trouble, the
legislature is inviting it.
"This is a California problem and
the legislature should so advise the
President. There is one thing certain,
IF California does not take the lead,
she will be sacrificed. II she resists
she will not only be safe, but she will
enable the President TO successfully
make his stand. Is California to send
the white flag to the front?"

NATIONS LEAGUE
TO PROTECT U. S.,
HITCHCOCK SAYS
Senator Receives This As
surance in Messages Sent
From Paris.
EXPECTS EARLY ACTION
Nebraskan Refuses for
Present to Make Public
Text of Cables.

That the league of nations COW
enant will emerge from the Peace
Conference satisfactorily amended
to meet the objections of its Amer
lean opponents was the belief ex-
pressed by administration oficials
yesterday.
Private advices from Paris to
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska. the
administration spokesman in the
Senate, confirm this opinion.
Senator Hitchcock said last night
that the word he has received from
Paris by private cablegrams con-
vinces him prospects are good for an
agreement which will be satisfac-
tory to the people of tho United
States. These changes, in his opin-
ion, will take in such matters as
reservation of the Monroe Doctrine.
the right of each signatory to the
league to settle its own domestic
affairs, and the right of a nation to
withdraw in a reasonable time from
the league after it has been formed.
To Protect U. s. Interests.
The exact text Of the messages
received by Senator Hitchcock is
withheld by him from publication.
The Senator explained that the mes
sages were of such an intimate and
personal" nature that he did not be-
Iieve it would be permissible TO
make known exactly what they con-
tain. He added
The word I have had from Paris
confirms the impression I have had
for some time. namely. that all the
interests of the United States will
be fully protected and that nothing
will be done which might in any
way be construed as a surrender by
the. United States of any of our
rights. The information is very
meagre, but 1t convinces me that
the prospects for a league covenant
| which win be acceptable to the
| United states are very goou-
! May BE Used in Debate.
1t is understood Senator Hitchcock
i will make use of the information re
j ceived from Paris in his debate II
