 LOS ANGELES. Feb. 16. - Split four ways from the middle over the Japanese immigration question. the Pacific coast states wifi carry to Washington to lay before the new ad- ministration at least quartet of diff ferent solutions to be embodied in the new treaty or convention now being negotiated with Japan. Here are some of them:
 ONE. That of the Exclusion League Of California-which must be Consid- cred as California's official solution. This will call for the out and out ex- elusion of Japanese labor aud, of course, at least the implied recogni- ton of her new alien land-law which inhibits the ownership of land by Japanese. or their leasing land. or their control of it in various other ways.
 TWO-That of K. K. Kawakami. Japanese author. known to be very close to the imperial government of Japan His solution calls for fair treatment of the Japanese already in the United States-though not neces- sarily for their admission to citizen ship-and the stoppage by Japan of further emigration of her subjects to America, with certain limited excep- tions
 THREE That sponsored by many prominent coast citizens-particular- ly in the states of Washington and Oregon. They would see that justice is done the Japanese now here, Am | ericanize them by granting citizen | ship to such who by length of resi- | dence and general character might | qualify for it, and put up the bars | high and tight against the coming oi ! new oriental labor.
 FOUR. That Of the Commonwealth l Club of San Francisco This club | one of the most looked-up-to organi ] zations in the west and with a mem | bership of close on to 5000. has gone | on record as favoring not only the | drastic exclusion of oriental labor | permanently. but for a period of two years to stop the immigration of al unskilled labor from Europe or else | where.
 Up to Harding This does mot mean. of course, that each state will Lombard Washington 1 with special delegations It does mean. however, that these will bs smong the solutions pressed upor President Harding and his secretary of state after March 4.
 Out here opinions differ on wha' fair treatment" of the Japanese means, and the discussion. beyond the shadow of a doubt. will be carried to Washington 10 be continued there between the national capital and Tok yo.
 We must treat the Japanese wh' ! are already in our country fairly Stanley Benedict. of the state board of control told me in his office in tn, state house at Sacramento. Would you admit them to citizen Ship?" I asked.
 No" he replied. eve already hav' one race problem in America W' do not want another"
 As one of the three compilers 0 the report, california and the Orien tal." he naturally favored the ant Japanese land law.
 Stephens Opinion Gov. William D. Stephens. of Cal : fornia. believes the Japanese eXclu
 sion act should likewise call for tn registration of all Japanese 1awfull
 within the United States at the tim the act was passed. and further that the burden would be upon ever
 Japanese to prove his right to be her
 by the production of a certificate C registration.
 Kawakami's contention is that tn ? Japauese now in this country mus
 he culranteed tue same privilege
