THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TIT.XDAY. A PETE 20. I'M?,. ? ANTI-JAP BILL California Legislators Demand That Nippon State Specifically Its Objections to Measure. SACRAMENTO, CAL., April 2*. Sentiment to-day in the California Legislature favored the adoption of an anti-alien land bill similar to the obp that brought Secretary of State fer.van scurrying across the continent. legislators are disappointed at the Kiifraent from Bryan. They believed he would disclose the diplomatic ex pressions that had pasaed between the United States and Japan When they found he merely desired to am plify the statement wired Governor Jotuisoo there was distinct disap pointment. *‘Be specific” is the demand heard bn evorj' hand. If there were actual pfcdection to the laud bill as proposed, tile legislators feel they are entitled to know what that objection was. accordingly they will ask that Japan t»ll the State Department what is ob jectionable, and that this statement Lc transmitted to the lawmakers. The legislators point out that Ja- p»n made no protest against similar laws in other States. They say Mr. Bryan himself was evidently unaware of the passage of these laws, and want to know' why Japan objects on diplomatic grounds In the case of California and not in other cases. It was considered a certainty to day that unless this answer was forthcoming the Legislature would not delay much longer. The law makers indicated they would con sider any answer from Japa*n. Un less this objection is stronger than any representation now made, ao- lording to a majority leader, the bill will be passed. International Law Expert Advises Wilson. WASHINGTON. April 29.—Presi dent Wilson and John Bassett Moore, Acting Secretary of State, held an extended conference at the While House to-day to consider latest de velopments in the California-Japa nese situation. The President plainly is worried by the alien bill complica tions*. Acting Secretary Moore was called to the executive mansion because of his extensive knowledge of interna tional law. While the administration does not hope for a settlement entirely satis factory to Japan and while President Wilson is certain the entire situation it- a plot to embarrass him, the Presi dent will do everything possible to obtain the passage of a denatured alien land law* bill. California Not Bound By Treaty, Says Works. WASHINGTON. April 29.—Assert ing the right of California to enact laws prohibiting aliens from holding lands. Senator Works, of California, in a statement to-day said if the Na tional Government makes a treaty in fringing upon this right the State is not bound thereby. He suggests that the treaty ob structing the rights of the States be abrogated as one solution of the dif- vflculty. Senator Works' statement follows: Every State in the Union has the right to provide by law who shall hold anti own lands within the State and to except aliens frorll that right. A number of the States have already done so. The National Government has no right to enact "any law or make any treaty that will deny or im pair that right on the part of a * State. Therefore, the Governor and the Legislature of the Stat< of California are strictly within their rights when they insist upon enacting an alien law. whether it excludes civilians of all or only of one foreign nation. Jf the Na tional Government has made a treaty which infringes upon these rights, the State is not bound by it and may enact such a law not withstanding. On tlie other hand, the President is strictly within \ his rights in endeavoring to per suade the. State to waive its rights and respect a treaty made with a foreign nation. But neitner our Government nor a foreign nation has any right to coerce a State to prevent lawful legislation by it, and no self-respecting State could sub mit to any such coercion or dic tation from either source. ' The people of the country and the Japanese. Government may just as well understand once for all that such subjects of that na tion as are coming to California are extremely objectionable to our people, and that their permanent ownership Of land in the State will not be allowed.

NEW YORK, April 29.—“The chil dren of this country of the well-to- do classes are imbued, almost from the cradle, with the spirit of snob bishness.
