May CONSULT
CONGRESS ON
JAP PROBLEM
Preparations on Part of Gov
ernment for Negotiations of
Pact with Japen Have Been
Broadened.
submit REPORTS SOON
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Prepara-
tions or the part of the United States
government for the negotiation of a
treaty with Japan defining the proper
ty and other rights Of Japanese nation
ais in the United States have been
broadened to include consultation with
leaders in congress.
The suggestion that congressional
leaders be called into conference is un-
derstood to have been made by state
department officials with a view of
ensuring approval by congress of vari-
GUS provisions of the proposed treaty.
Roland S. Morris the Am erican am
bassador to Japan, who has been con-
Quoting the treaty negotiations, with
Baron Shidehara, the Japanese am
bassador here, conferred yesterday
with representative Kahn, of Californ-
ia. Ambassador Morris had consulted
previously with Senator Johnson, of
California the only member of the SEN
ate foreign relations committee from
the Pacific coast states, and with Rep
resentative Johnson. of Washington,
chairman of the house immigration
committee and it is understood con-
ferences with other members of both
the senate and house are contemplat-
ed.
Kahn Tells Theory.
Representative Kahn after his con-
ference at the state department with
Mr.. Morris, said he had reason to be-
lieve that Japan had withdrawn op-
position to the California law as rati-
fled by the voters of that state in the
November election prohibiting Jap
anese from acquiring title to real es-
tate Tho Califnrnit n tat
added that he had called a meeting of
house members from his state for to-
morrow to discuss proposal that the
California legislature be asked to en-
act a substitute statute which would
prohibit any alien from acquiring land
in California. He refused to say
whether the reported withdrawal of
Japanese opposition to the present
law had been made contingent on en-
actment of the substitute statute.
Mass of Reports.
The understanding here has beer
that the negotiations between Ambass=
ador Morris and Baron Shidehara have
not reached the stage of actual draft
ing of the proposed treaty and this un-
derstanding was said by Mr. Kahn to
have been borne out by the impress
sions he had received in his discus
sions with Mr.. Morris. Satisfactory
progress, it is said. have been made
in the negotiations, however, and a
mass of material in the shape of re-
ports is understood to be about ready
for submission to the Toxic govern
ment and to the state department.
State department officers stated to-
day that Representative Julius Kahn,
of California, who conferred yester-
day with Roland S. Morris, the Ameri-
can ambassador to Japan, was mistak-
en- in his impression that Japan had
withdrawn opposition to the California
anti-Japanese land law, adopted in the
November elections in that state.
Officials said abandonment Of the
position Japan has assumed was not
to be expected at least until after the
close of the negotiations now in pro-
greSS.
