Washington, d. c., December, 29.-
Rights of Japanese In the United
States and other subjects involved In
the negotiations now In progress be-
tween the United States and Japan
were up for discussion today when
California members of the house met
in a conference called by Representa-
tive Kahn. Chief AMONG the matte
that it was understood were liSxly to
come up was the proposal recently ad
yanced In some quarters that the Cal
ifornia members urge legislature OF
their state, to enact rs substitute
for the present anti allen land law, a
statute which would prohibit any
tate.
The Japanese government has con
tended that the present law discrimi-
mates against Japanese and the sug
gestion has been numerically, it is un
derstood, that the proposed substitute
would eliminate the source of much
OF the existing friction.
The California representatives also
were expected to hear from Represen
tatiyes Kahn something as to the
progress of the negotiations which
nave been in progress at the state de
partment between Roland S. Morris
the American ambassador at Toxic
and Baron Shidehara. the Japanese
ambassador to the United States. Rem
resentative Kahn held a conference

told a deputation CT the Opposition

tract because America had not rec

replied that, IL reports concernine
the concessions were true, the stu
alton held menace to Japan from
the view point of defense, but de-
clined to express any further opinion
in absence of confirmation of these
reports. Viscount Uchida also in
formed the deputation that although
the League of Nations had admitted
in principal the right of Australia
to mandates over Islands in the Pa
cific. Japan had declared her inten
ton to insist upon the principle Of
