WASHINGTON TIGHT
As A CLAM ON JAP
AMERICAN PROBLEM
Negotiations Growing Out
of California Anti-Jap
Land Laws ShrOuded
in Secrecy

Washington, Sept. 27.-Administra-
ton officials continue to decline to
discuss for publication, any phase
of the negotiations with Japan grow
ing out of the proposed anti-Japanese
land law in California, but the i'm
pression has gone out that pro-
posal from Toxic that the question be
referred to a joint commission foi
solution would be unacceptable.
The conversations regarding tha
California law which have been 60
ing on between Ambassador Shidehara,
of Japan, and State Department Off
cials, are continuing, and, so far
as has been learned. the proposal for
joint commission has not been
formally communicated TO Washing
ton by the japanese government.
Conflicting opinions of both Ameri-
can and Japanese authorities on inter-
national law, are said to have made
the task more difficult. Proponents Of
the California law say that California
in enacting measure barring the
Japanese from owning land in that
state, would be refusing to the Japa-
nese in this country no rights or
privileges which are not refused by
Japanese law to Americans in Japan.
Japan contends that the California
law, which is to be voted on in No
vember, is discriminatory because it
does not apply to all foreigners alike
as does the Japanese law. The sug-
gestion has now been made in Toxic
that after the law has been made 1t
will be tested in the United States
supreme court. Some japanese au-
thorities on international law doubt
that this would be effective. as they
state frankly that the proposed Cali
fornia law conflicts neither with the
constitution nor the terms Of the Am
erican-Japanese treaty.
DR.. Kobayashi, writing of the pro-
posed law in the Japanese review Of
international law, says 1t Is futile
TO attempt opposition by legal meth
DDS.
Neither the present California alien
land law nor proposed hasty enact
ment Of cruel initiative law" says
DR.. Kobayashi, "can be dealt with as
legal questions. All that can be done
is to soften political and diplomatic
methods"
What progress II any, has been
made in the negotiations, has not been
disclosed. The attitude of the State
Department is described as one cal
culated to prevent development of a
feeling of alarm in the United States
that might approach even approxi-
mately that which appears to be
growing In Japan"

AMERICAN LEGION
TO TAKE STAND ON
LABOR PROBLEMS
Possible That the Radical
Elements Of Employer
and Employe Will Re- .
ceive Attention

Cleveland. Ohio, Sept. 27.-Ths
American legion is expected TO adopt
in it's annual convention beginning
here today a statement of its policy
to guide its members and posts in
their conduct toward labor organiza-
tons and industrial disputes. An
announcement issued by the legion's
news service says that probably its
hands-off policy will be reaffirmed
and steps taken TO enforce that policy
on all units Of the organization.
"A system to provide means of dis
ciplining members and pests that run
counter to the expressed policy OF
the majority of legion members will
be discussed and probably adopted"
the statement adds.
The national constitution fails to
provide any means Of putting re-
straint on members VINO embarass the
,egion by unauthorized statements or
acts. This fact according to national
Commander Franklin D'Olier, has
caused the entire organization 70 sur-
fer from adverse criticism directed
against the activities OF one small
post. 81

violent radical organizations, the treat
ment of alien shakers" the lmmi-
grafton question in general and the
