Japanese Leaders Deplore
California Land Question

FUKUOKA, Japan, Oct. 26--Agita-
ton in Japan over the California land
question especially attempts to util-
ize the controversy with the United
States for political purposes, were de-
plored by Jushiro Kiushu and Kuru-
suki Okazaki, speaking at a meeting
of the seiyukai, or government party,
here today.
The two speakers, leaders of the
party, told the 1000 delegates present,
however, that undeniably measures
contemplated in California would be a
heavy blow to Japanese interests and
would constitute serious internation-
al question.
The Japanese government, they de-
clared, should insist upon its rights
in the course of negotiations at Wash
ington, and the people should have
confidence that everything possible
will be done to obtain an equitable
settlement.
