SACRAMENTO, CAL., April 28 - ©•ntlment to-day Jn the California Legislature favored the adoption of an anti-alien land bill similar to the one that brought Secretary of State Bryan scurrying across the continent. Legislators are disappointed at the statement from Bryan. They believed he would disclose the diplomatic ex pressions. that had passed between rhe United States and Japan. When found he merely desired to am plify the statement wired Governor Jdhnson there was distinct disap pointment. **Be specific” is the demand heard on evory hand. If there were actual objection to the land bill as proposed, the legis lators feel they are entitled ♦o know what that objection was. Aeordingly they will ask that Japan tail the State Department what is ob jectionable, and that this statement be transmitted to the lawmakers. The legislators point out that Ja- p«n made no protest against similar tews In other States. They say Mr. Jferyan 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- d*y that unless this answer was forthcoming the Legislature would not delay much longer. The law makers indicated they w r ould con sider any answer from Japan. Un less this objection is stronger than any representation now made, ac cording 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 White 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 is 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 he abrogated as one solution of the dif ficulty. Senator Works' statement follows: Every State in the Union has tlie right to provide by law.who shall hold and own lands within the State and to except aliens from 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 State 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. If 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 the 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 aii that such subjects of that na tion as are coming to < California are extremely objectionable to our oeople, and that their permanent ownership of land in the State will not be allowed.
