STEPHENS N WASH.
FIGHTS JAP ANESE-
CITIZENSHIP IN \. US.
(By Associated Press)

(by Associated freSSJ
\ WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-William
D. Stephens conferred with Bainbridge
Colby, secretary of state, regarding
the japanese situation on the Pacific
coast today. While Gov. Stephens re
fused to say what had transpired. he
indicated that he had been assured
that the Toxic reports of the approach
ing agreement between Japan and the
United States, providing for the nat
uraliZation of the Japanese now in
this country and the restrictions of fu-
ture immigration, were without foun-
dation. The governor said the pro-
posed referendum has been carried
out anyway as now on the ballot. lie
spent some time with President Will
son.
The proposed agreement, which has
created much stir in the diplomatic
circles of the country first came to
light in San Francisco, during the con-
gressional investigation of the situa-
tion of Oriental invasion in the United
States during the past few years.
In conference with the secretary
of the Japanese Association in Cali
fornia, Chairman Johnson of Wash
ington is said to have proposed the
agreement at the suggestion of the
Japanese official.
Congressman Seelig. also member
of the committee pointed out to the
newspapermen Of that city that the
plan was not at all satisfactory, mas
much as it was contrary to the Gus
toms of the Japanese. "A child, born
of Japanese parentage, any place in
the world, whether the parents have
been admitted into citizenship of that
country or not, is Jap" said Seelig.
"The grain goes even deeper" he con-
inued, "and any child born in tho
United States, of parents also claim
ing this country as their borthplace, is
likewise child of Nippon, by the an.
cient customs governing that land"
at would be impossible for the
United States to grant citizenship to
peoples of foreign country, who are
|, still swearing allegiance to another
country" he concluded.

Says If Market Stays Ruin
of Imperial Valley Would
Result, but Declares the
Market Won't "Stay Put"

That the present market quotation
for long staple cotton will not stay
"put" was the theory advanced by
Leroy Holt, president fthe First Ma
tional bank, on his return from . two
months trip to the coast. today.
"The drop of pima cotton from $1.15
pound to 90 cents, yesterdays quo
tation, will mean the ruin of the in
dustry in the Imperial Valley" said
Mr.. Holt. with the construction of
the large plants in Los Angeles for the
manufacture of automobile tires, the
need for home grown cotton has in
creased tremendously during the past
year, and should they withdraw from
the field at the present time nothing
but ruin would be the ultimate result.
"Whether the fact that they have a
monopoly on the market today has any
effect on the price | cannot say, but
in my opinion, if they are contem-
plating making Los Angeles the base
for operations on the, Pacific coast,
they could do nothing better than Of
fering an attractive price to the val
ley product, if for no other reason
than supplying themselves with a sup
ply that will carry them for a num-
ber OF years.
1t was said by Mr.. Holt that should
the price remain the same throughout
the year, and the farmers be forced to
sell at go cents, next year will fnd the
valley fields sewed in short staple only.
every little of the long pima viii be
rerlanted," he said.
Twenty three bales Of October cotton
sold yesterday in New Orleans for
24.90. This is the lowest quotation in
over three years, it is said. Deem
ber quotations dropped even cent
lower. Bidding closed at $3.50.
