President and Cabinet Discuss
Alien Law at'Longest Meeting
of Present Administration.
WASHINGTON, May 16.—To-day's
rabinet session, the longest singe
ITesident Wilson entered the White
1' House, was almost entirely consumed
by a dlwcussion of the C&lofornia-
Jaoanese situation and of the United
States reply to the Japanese protest
against the enforcement of the anti-
alien land bill.
Two of the navy'a beat fighting
ships, the Montana, due to sail from
Algiers to-day, and the Tennessee,
, now on her way across the Atlantic,
were ordered home last week.
The Navy Department declines to
openly give its reasons for the return
of the ships. It is aeml-officlally ad
mitted that the war vessels were
ordered home In the event that their
.services are required.
None of the participants would
state definitely what action had been
taken on any of the questions nor
would they volunteer any Information
of the results reached.
Japa Next to Seek
Full Citizenship.
By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES.
WASHINGTON. May 16.—When a
nation grounds its proteat upon a
non-arbitrable point there is not much
warrant for the presumption that it is
looking for peace.
Japan’s protest, as Interpreted by
the message of President Wilson *o
Governor Johnson on April 22, and
in the stenographic report of his con,
versati.on later with the* newspaper
reporters, makes plain that “national
honor” was the basis of Japanese feel
ing in this matter, and that is now
the accepted idea in Washington.
Whether Governor Johnson signs
the Webb bill to-morrow or next day,
the issue is drawn sharply between
the United States and Japan upon a
point that can not be arbitrated and
yet must be decided.
The United States can not apologize
to a foreign nation for the act of one
of its several States.
A State law that does not violate
the terms of an international treaty
qr the Constitution can not be abro
gated by tke courts of the United
States.
New Treaty Possible.
In case of Governor Johnson’s sig
nature, then, the only policy that
teems in sight for the President and
Secretary of State is to form in con
ference with Baron Chinda, the Jap
anese Ambassador, a new treaty cov
ering the point of issue between the
two nations. This treaty can not be
come vital and superior to State laws
until it s fully ratified by the United
States Senate.
To satisfy Japan this new treaty
must cover the point at issue in the
present controversy.
The most serious and entangling
possibility rests in the idea noy/ gen
erally entertained that Japan has
from the beginning used this protest
as a mere preliminary to a formal de
mand that its people should be eligi
ble to citizenship in the United States.
(Maiming that the Japanese are a
white people, that they are not Ala
lays, but Aryans, it is believed that
Japan will demand for them this
right in the United States', and upon
this demand that people may stand
for peace or war.
Japanese negotiations have so far
utterly ignored the action of Arizona,
whose land law is much more drastic
than the original draft of the Cali
fornia measure. This is regarded as
significant. This, in brief, is the sit
uation as it stands to-day.
Practically an Ultimatum.
The Japanese Ambassador Is im
passive and absolutely silent. Upon
the statement that Governor Johnson
win s jgn the Webb bill his pfotest
and the way in which it has been
filed amounts practically to an ulti-
’ matum to our Government. _
A It is now the general feeling among
officials of the State, War and Navy
Departments that the time ie drawing
near when our State Department will
have to give a direct, positive and
conclusive answer to Japan.
The newspaper men. almost as a
unit, have propounded the question.
When? to the Secretary of State. Mr.
Bryan is impassive. He admitted
that so long as the bill was not signed
the present f-'ituation could for some
time be practically maintained.
The State Department Indicates
that there has been no change in
the attitude of Japan since Mr. Bryan
returned from Sacramento and Baron
Chinda filed his.earnest protest. It is
feared that Japan will now reject any
compromise that does not carry with
It the recognition of equality of citi
zenship between Japanese and Amer
icans.

Four Great Presbyterian Branches
Reject Movement Because
Time Is Not Ripe.
All doubt was dispelled as to the
possibility of union this year of the
four great branches of the Presbyte
rian C'hurch when their representa
tive! for the first time in the history
of the world gathered In a monster
mass meeting at the Auditorium
Thursday night.
Speculation, rife as to the combi
nation of the four great bodies since
the opening of the meetings, was
quickly turned Into realization. The
verdict was: No organic union will
be consummated at this time.
The vast audience fairly bristled
with stand-patters, those who could
never part with their own doctrinal
beliefs. And yet, even at this his
toric assembly there was Indicated
far out on the horizon of future ac
tivity the union which now is Im
possible.
At present the unanimous desire is
for union of spirit and the chief
topics taken by the many speakers
at the meeting was this.
Throughout the addresses the
building rang with praise as world-
famous Presbyterisns took the pul
pit for short addresses. Intermit
tently hymns were sung by the
thousands present.
Atlanta Pastor Presides.
The Rev. R. O. Fllnn, of Atlanta,
presided. Dr. W. P. Jacobs, of Clin

Three Assemblies

A great communion nervice was
held by the three asepmblieg late Fri

in the history of the American Pres
byterianism that these three large
bodies' had Joined in the sacrament
An eloquent address by Judge Mc-
Kenaie rieland, of Chicago, in which
a stirring appeal for prison reform
wa» made" preceded the communion
service. Judge Cleland asked for a

conditions were Indescribably horri

tion, after which Dr. G. A. Beattie, of
Atlanta, presented the famous gavel
made from the wood of four of the
oldest Presbyterian theological sem
inaries to the Assembly.
“In case there is ever a union be
tween the four churches, this gavel
will be prophetic,” said Dr. Beattie
in presenting it.
J. K. Orr. welcoming the Presby
terians in the name of Atlanta, said:
"While some of you haven’t been
down here since the war. still, notv
that you are, we welcome you. We
are glad to know that the prodigal
has returned.”
A strong plea for a national Chris
tian movement was made by Dr. T. S.
Clyce retired moderator of the
Stouthern Assembly. Dr. Clyce urged
that the great Presbyterian Church
be the force behind such a project.
“We should have greater power for
religion In the national life of the
world,” declared Dr. Clyce. “Our na
tion should wield a moral force for
good over the globe It remains for
those who believe that God controls
the nation to save America and the
world.”
Organic union was the subject
taken by Dr. Hugh H. Bell, of San
Francisco, retired moderator of the
United Presbyterians. Dr. Bell’s ad
dress was a strong argument In favor
of such a combination.
"We are not disagreed on the deity
of Christ,” said Dr Bell. “We are
not disagreed upon the importance of
missions. We must not crucify a
Christ because of our doctrinal dif
ferences."
Future Union Predicted.
Following on the heels of Dr. Bell's
address came that of Dr. Mark A.
Matthews, retired moderator of the
Northern Assembly, which prognosti
cated with emphasis an organic union
in the near future.
Immense enthusiasm greeted James
MacDonald, of The Toronto Globe,
when he arose to speak. Mr. Mac
Donald spoke on the international as
pect of the church.
