Uncle Joe" was all smiles az
Champ Clark Of Missouri, the Demo

When IT came his time to talk, Mr..
Cannon said he was beginning to
wonder If he was not already realiz-
ing the hopes OF those who desired to
return from the other world to com
municate with friends still part ci-
pating in the ordinary affairs of the
earth
Many big things happened in 1872,

Japanese In the United States and
other subjects involved In the nego-
tiations now In progress between
the United States and Japan were
up for discussion today when Califor-
mia members Of the house met In
conference called by Representative
Kahn.
Chief among the matters that II
was understood were likely to come
up was the proposal recently ad-
vanced In some quarters that the
California members urge the legisla-
ture OF their state to enact rs n
substitute fer the present anti-alien
land law n statute which would pro-
hibit any alien from acquiring title
to real estate.
The japanese government has con-
tended that the present law discrim'
mates against japanese, and the sug-
gestion has been made. unoffIcially
that the proposed substitute would
eliminate the source Of much OF the
existing friction.
