JOHNSON INVITES
POWERS TODNTTE
ON DISARMAMENT
Senator Declares Wal
Prevention VIII Come
No Other Way.

An invitation to the five allied and
associated powers to unite in a pro-
gram of disarmament was extended
In the Senate yesterday by Senator
Hiram W. johnson. of California.
who said this would be a more effec-
tive way to prevent war than by
formation Of the league of nations.
I'VE are all agreed, take 1t. that
IL there is a real desire among the
powers of the earth to prevent war
they can prevent 1t by disarmament"
Senator Johnson said. IF the five
great nations of the earth who were
associated in the war were to meet
together and decide upon disarma-
ment we would have taken the one
great step that could be taken to-
ward the promotion of peace and the
prevention Of all future wars.
I'VE all pray, of course, that that
step may ultimately be taken, and
we commend to some of those out
side of this chamber who have hys-
terically endeavored to direct our
course during the past couple of
years into a new government or su-
per-government or in desire to
embroil us in European controver-
sizes, quarrels and broils, the one
great step that may be taken-dis-
armament Of the nations of the earth
for the prevention of wars in the fu-
ture"
Senator Johnson read an article
published in a New York newspaper,
in which the allies were severely
hayed for their conduct in the Near
East The same article contained
an emphatic demand for universal
disarmament Senator Johnson
charged that II was Inconsistent,
to say the least for a newspaper
to support a disarmament program
and at the same time support the
league Of nations, which is respon-
sible for all the troubles in the Near
East of which 1t complains"
Senator William Z. Borah, who in
troduced a resolution seeking to OBJ
tain from Great Britain and France
their views on a SO per cent reduc-
ton In future naval armament, said
that he intended to press it for early
action before the Foreign Relations

JAPANESE CONFER
0NLAND BAN ACT
Objections Withdrawn, ]
Rumor After
Meeting.

Japan has withdrawn her objec-
tions to the California law prohibit
ing all landholding by japanese
subjects, according to rumors in Of
ficial circles here yesterday.
The report followed a conference
yesterday at the State Department
between Representative Kahn. Cali.
fornia, and Roland s. Norris
American Ambassador to Tokyo
who has been conducting the nego-
tiations with Japan.
State Department officials were
reluctant to discuss reports that
the 'Japs had withdrawn their op-
position to the California law, Of
fering nothing in the way of con-
firmation.
According to reports current after
the conference, Japan has entirely
withdrawn her opposition to the
California laws The question of a
treaty with Japan, which was being
negotiated to guarantee rights OF
japanese already in this country
apparently has been dropped. This
treaty never reached conclusion, al
though several drafts were drawn
up between Morris and Ambassador
Shidehara.
Asked about the rumor that Japan
had withdrawn her opposition to
the California law, Kahn refused
either to deny or confirm the re-
port.
Kahn said, however, that it was
his understanding that the State
Department still is negotiating with
japan to bring about absolute ex-
clusion of all Japanese labor i'm
migration.
This is being done by amend
ments to the present "gentlemen's
agreement" between Japan and the
United States. according to Kahn's
understanding. The present agree
ment under which Japan voluntarily
undertakes to prohibit immigration
to the United States, exempts from
this ban parents. wives and chill
dren of Japanese already in this
country. These loopholes are ex-
pected to be closed by the amend
ments being drafted.
