JAPAN MAKES DEMANDS.
Asks U. S. to Halt California Ban
Against Oriental.

Washington, Sept. ,\16.-Japan has
made formal demand upon the
United States government that 'the
unjust racial discrimination" against
her citizens in California be made a
matter of negotiation between the
two governments at once, and that it
be settled without delay. This infor-
nation was obtained at the state de-
partment today.
Until now the negotiations arising
out Of the referendum act by which
California proposes to debar citizens
of Japan from ownership or control
of land in that state have been of an
entirely formal character.
Following the visit by Governor
Stephens of California to Secretary
Colby week before last, during which
the governor informed the state de-
partment that efforts to induce Cali
fornia to withdraw it's referendum
bill from the November, election
would only aggravate the citizens,
Ambassador Shidehara was instruct
ed by that government to bring the
controversy to a formal issue~
Japan contends it is the duty Of
the government to take precautionary
measures to protect the japanese

nounce to Premier Millerand today,
was reached upon advice of his ply
sicians, according to the Echo de

from discriminatory action by Cali
fornia.
} This government, however, will de-
cline to deal with the situation until
the issue is made complete by pas
sageof the proposed referendum act.
The present situation is entirely
different and far more serious than
the one which William Jennings
Bryan faced when he was secretary
of state.
On that occasion the government
faced an act by the California legis-
lature which might be amended. The
proposed new law in California Isl
based upon a referendum over which
the department Of statei has no in
fuence whatever, and which it ad-
mits Is sure to pass.
It was stated at the department of
state today that in such controversy
az that with Japen the view obtains
abroad that the federal government
is responsible for the acts of any
state.
