EXPLAIN JAP"
NEGOTIATIONS
widening Of Land Law Causes
Withdrawal Of All Opposition
to California Measure.

Washington, Dec. 30.-(By Unit
ed Press. An account Of the ne
gotiations which preceded and led
up to the reported action Of Japan
in withdrawing opposition to the
California anti-Japanese land law
was made available to the United
Press today from highly authori-
tative source.
1t was stated by persons in touch
with the negotiations between Am
bassador Shidehara and Roland
Morris, American ambassador to
Japan, that Shidehara had infor-
mally withdrawn objections 10 the
California measure after the pro-
posal to widen the law to include
all aliens had been put up to him.
The story as given to the United
Press follows:
A short time ago certain men,
bers Of congress called on Morris,
who is conducting the negotiations
with Japan for the state depart
ment, and outlined plans to make
the California law apply to all
aliens.
They suggested that such an ex-
tension Of the law would be very
advisable, that it would eliminate
the discriminatory phase Of the
law, as it applied to Japanese sub
jects, and might prompt Japan to
withdraw her protest. To SO widen
the law would make it necessary
for the United States to make con-
cessi0ns to placate the sensibilities
OF Japan, whose claim was that the
law was discriminatory to her sub
jects.
Ambassador Morris, it is under
stood, approved the plan on foot
to extend the land law il this was
the desire Of California.
Later, Morris told Shidehara Of
the plan. 1t is understood the lat
ter was greatly surprised and ask
ed "a hours to consider the mat
ter.
At the next conference between
the two ambassadors, Morris
brought up the question. Shide-
hars, 1t is understood. replied rath.
er nervously that japan was moi
worrying any more about the Cali.
fornia law, and according to the
most responsible information stat.
ed definitely in effect that Japar
withdrew her protest.
