san ANTONIO, Ten, Jan. S.-Tension
in the lower Rio Grande Valley over
the Japanese situation seems easier
tonight than at any time during the
last week. This is attributed to the
fact that the Japanese families in the
valley expressed willingness to leave
the state, and also because a law which
would prohibit the Japanese owning
mind by some Of the older residents of
southwest Texas.
The law, passed in 1892, denies the
right Of any nonresident alien to own
land in the state. 1t was tested in the
treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and it
has been decided thas any action neces-
sary for the eviction of the Japanese
will be brought under this law. How

TO fear some Congressional direction to
