GOVERNMENT ASKED
TO KEEP HANDS OFF
cALIFORNlANS DECLARE THEY
WILL STAND BY DECISION TO
BAR JAPANESE.
Request Federal Government to Con-
clude No Treaty THAI Would
Extend Citizenship Rights
or Nullify Alien Law.

Sacramento, Gala joint resolution
requesting the federal government to
conclude no treaty with Japan that
would extend citizenship rights to
japanese or that would nullify the
California antialien law was favorably
reported by the state ensate commit
tee ON federal relations on January 6.
The resolution urges that provision
be made in any immigration treaty
with Japan to prohibit further emlgra-
ton of the subjects of Japan to the
United States save and except mer-
chants, students and teachers, their
servants and employees. 1t sets forth
that there are approximately 100000
japanese in California, comparative
ly few engaged in trade, while the
great majority are engaged in agri-
culture, owning and leasing farming
lands, and now control one-eighth OF
the entire acreage of rich irrigated
lands in the state, as shown by the
official report of the board of con-
troll"
Both countries the resolution states, |
conceded the unassimilability of its
.wo races and grant that a continu-
lnce of existing conditions must de-
'elop a racial question of grave inter
RATIONAL consequence out of the pres
mt economic problem"

IDLE ENGL|SHMEN
DEMANDING RELIEF
THE UNEMPLOYED ARE TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF THE PRO-
VISIONS OF POOR LAW.
Leaders Announce That Unemployed
Are Determined Not to Starve and
viii Compel Taxpayers to
Provide Necessary Food.

Misunderstanding seriousness OF
the unemployment problem in Great
Britain was emphasized Friday by the
action of the unemployed in the city
of Norwich in ayailing themselves of
the provisions of the existing poor
law and demanding support from the
local guardians" These are the off
cials who administer relief TO the
needy, charging the cost upon local
taxes.
The guardians" recently decided
not to increase the scale of relief work
in Norwich on the ground that the
taxpayers were unable to afford 1t,
but the chief of police notified them
he had received a communication to
the effect that If help was not granted,
1.-THE unemployed had determined to use
kdirect action" He declared the po-
: lice did not desire any disturbance of
public order. and under this threat the
guardians yielded and doubled the
taxes applicable to feeding the poor.
In doing so the chairman of the
guardians" remarked it was the first
time in the history of the city that
the police had been overawed by
threats from the unemployed
The burden thus placed upon the
taxpayers has caused dismay. The adj |
ditional taxes will result in a house
holder who pays an annual rent of EGO |
paying more than f72 in taxes. The
police of Norwich declare 1t Is i'm
possible for them to pay such taxes, as
trade is stagnant.
The action of the unemployed at
Norwich accords with advice persis-
tently given by labor leaders and fol-
lowed at many places, although with
less serious result that in Norwich.
The Daily Herald, mouthpiece of la
Dor, says:
"There is no alternative. The I'M
are determined not to starve,
md they have proved that in the poor
aw they have weapon to enforce JUS
Co. The increased taxes will be dis
strous to thousands of people, but
viii compel the adoption of radical
measures at Norwich, which has shown |
he way to workers all over the coun-
ry."
Leading labor organization rejected
ap invitation from the government to
in an official inquiry re-
garding unemployment, objecting to
he terms of the proposal.

SERIOUS CONDITION
OF CUBAN AFFAIRS
INTERVENTION BY THE UNITED
STATES NOW LOOMS AS A
POSSIBILITY.
Uncle Sam May Step In and
straighten Out Matters Should the
Mission of General Crowder
Prove a Failure.

Westinghouse is said that disclos-
ures here of the serious condition of
affairs in Cuba suggests a strong pos
sibility of American Intervention in
the event of the failure of General
Crowder's mission.
The United States has interviewed in
Cuba once under the Plat amendment
since the original occupation following
the Spanish war and it has been free
ly predicted that if we should be com
PEELED to go in again we would go in
to stay.
The Cuban minister, DR.. Carlos Man.
uel de Cespedes. was so startled by
the dispatch of General Crowder and
staff of military aides to Havana
aboard a battleship that he called at
the state department Tuesday, seeking
an explanation. He was apprahensive
he said, that the Cuban people would
jump to the conclusion that interven-
ton was contemplated.
Acting Secretary of State Davis in
formed the minister that the purpose
of The president in dispaxhingfn-
erM Crowder to Cuba was amply set
forth in the White House statement,
and sought to impress him with the
necessity of the Cuban government
taking effective steps to remedy the
existing chaotic situation.
The trouble in Cuba may be set
forth under three heads:
Economic, signified by the shut
down of sugar cane mills and general
of industry.
Financial, caused by excessive sugar |
crop speculation, resulting in the In
solvency of numerous banks and the |
establishment of a moratorium by the |
Political, emanating from failure to
determine who has been elected |
president, charges of election frauds
the result.
Cuba appears to be suffering from a
sugar spree and the morning after.
With sugar selling at % cents in the
United States last year, Cuba was
rolling in wealth and sugar million
aires were made in a day. Then the
price of sugar slumped, the cane mills
,losed and Cuba went broke.

CONGRESS APPROVES FARMERS
RELIEF BILL IN SPITE OF
EXECUTIVE DIsAPPRovAL-
President Declared He Withheld APP
prova Because the War Finance
Corporation Was a War Credit
Agency Not Needed Now.

Washington.-Vet by President
Wilson ON January of the farmers
relief bill to revive the war finance
corporation was followed almost i'm
mediately by a vote of SO to 5 in the

executive disapproval.
The vote In the house on the follow
in day was nearly as ample as that
cast in the senate. The house stood
$50 for the measure and &C against,
or 81 more than the required two
thirds majority. Seventeen Demo
Gratis and forty-nine Republicans
voted to sustain the veto, while for
the bills passage there were 135 Re
publicans, ia Democrats and one
Prohibitionist.
President Wilson will have to fill
at least one of the two vacancies on
the board of directors of the revived
war finance corporation before it can
make any considerable number of
loans for financing exports with
view to affording relief to farming and
pthe4 industyies This statemenscyas
made by treasury officials aftesrfhe
resolution directing revival of tie cor
poration became a law through its
passage by the house over the presi-
dents veto.
President Wilson, in q veto message,
declared he withheld his approval be-
cause the war finance corporation was

needed in peace times. He said it
would exert no beneficial Influence
IN the situation-would raise false
hopes among the people who would
expect most, and would be hurtful to
he natural and orderly processes of |
business and finance"
