CAL|FORN|ANS WANT
0R|ENTALS BARRED
GOVERNOR STEPHENS DECLARES
SOVEREIGNTY OF STATE IL
MENAcED eY BROWN MEN.
Asks That Negotiations Be Entered
Into With Japan to Make impos-
sible Further Evasion Of Exist.
Inc immigration Agreements.

SYSTEMATICALLY influx of Japan
csc into California has brought about
alarming" conditions and II has be-
come necessary to protect the
sovereignty OF the state against this
growing menace" through diplomatic
negotiation or n strict exclusion act,
Gov. William ID. Stephens said In a
letter addressed to Secretary Of State
Colby on June II.
Governor Stephens expressed the
hope In the letter that the initiative
measure now being projected In the
state to deny Asiatics the right to all
land purchases or lease holds would
be accepted by the electorate by an
overwhelming majority.
While California harbors no ami.
mostly against the japanese people, he
said, the state does not wish them to
settle within her borders and to de-
velop japanese population In her
midst. He asks that immediate negO-
tiations be entered into with the en-
pire of Japan to make impossible any
further "evasions" of existing immi-
grafton agreements and to make such
agreements as rigorous as possible.
Governor Stephens said he feared
that the Initiative measure, II passed,
might fall short Of Its purpose through
the japanese retaining possession OF
agricultural lands through personal
employment contracts, and that there.
fore government action was necessary.
Although respecting japanese cul-
fure and advancement and the right Of
Japan to true development, Governor
Stephens held that "the people Of
California are determined to exhaust
every power in their keeping to MAIN
tain this state for its own people"
