Now. the New York commission has
not banned the Dempsey Wills match
40 far as the Empire State is con-
cerned. Certainly ii has not. The
boxing body has done some foolish
things, but never anything so foolish
"a that.
Think Of tossing the grestest battle
Of II centuries to a sister State-to
New Jersey. for example, You can
not think OF it-cannot imagine IT.
Jersey had one ba attle of the century
and unless heavy political reasons
against the fight developed, no loyal
New Yorker would relish the thought
OF handing the province across the
Hudson another one. New York is not
in the habit of handing big money to
some one else.
Friends Of Dempsey, who have be-
lievcd he never would fight again. are
beginning to believe that the cham
nion Is really steanling himself up 10
a bout and that Rickard, in his justly
celebrated wisdom. is helping along
the steaminE process.
What the New York commission n
should do ir to answer the telegram
and letter which Dempsey sent to this
body early in the week Every 81
should he crossed, every 'i' dotted.
Furthermore, the communication
should be ccuched in plain and simple
English that Aven a bush boxer could
understand. Then. and not until then,
will the situation clear itself.
kearns meanwhile persists in his
siop that he has the authority to
arrange bouts for Dempsey and is
shortly coming East to talk to the
boxing commissioners OF New York.
He wants to look out or his former
meal ticket may jump East and hand
him one on the beezer.

JAPAN EXPECTS
LAND LAW
PROTEST
Would Prevent Americans
From Owning Property,
Though Others May

TOKYO, April 9.--Although there
has been no official hint of a pro-
test by the United States Govern
ment against the reciprocity clause
of the alien land ownership bill now
before the Japanese Diet, news dis
patches from Washington, intimat-
ing that such a protest might be
made, have aroused widespread in
terest in Japan. Influential Jap
anese newspapers have made these
dispatches the subject Of consider
able editorial comment, tinged with
criticism of the United States.
The reciprocity clause Of the
land ownership bill provides that
the identical or analogous prohibit
ton or the identical or analogous
conditions or restrictions may be
imposed by imperial ordinance
upon foreigners or foreign corpora
lions that belong to a country that
prohibits or imposes conditions or
restrictions upon the enjoyment of
rights pertaining to land by Jap
anese subjects or corporations, in
regard to the enjoyment Of their
rights pertaining to land in Japan. ;"
In less formal language, this
means simply that citizens Of for
eign countries that deny the right
Of land ownership to japanese may
not own land in Japan.
The law further provides, how
The Washington times., 1925-04-10

ever, that any part Of a foreign
country that has special legislative
authority with regard to land shall
be regar6G0 as a foreign country.
This means that citizens of SCali-
fornia, for instance, where Japan
ese are not allowed to own land,
would be deprived of the land-own-
ing privilege in Japan, while citi-
zens of other States of the United
States would not.
Discussing the possibility of a
United States protest against this
bill, Hochi Shimbun, Tokyo news
paper, cites the analogy between
land ownership restrictions and inn
migration exclusion and hints that
an American protest would be re-
ceived more kindly in Japan If the
exclusion law we're repealed in
America.
The Tokyo Nichi Nichi, another
influential paper, comments in a
similar vein.
eff. the Americans feel offended
at the proposed discrimination, =
the Nichi Nichi declares, they
must revoke . the discrimination
against Japanese. The United
States is not in a position to press
Japan to accept discrimination and
to grant her privileges in exemp-
ton from the proposed land owner
