PEXIrXG TREATY W ITH JAPAN
IS SUBJECT OF PROTEST.
Exclusion League Says Govern
ment Has Xo Right to Ignore
State Legislation. .
SACRAMENTO. Cal.f Nov. 25. State
Controller John S. Chambers, as
chairman of the executive committee
of the Japanese exclusion league of
California, telegraphed to the state de
partment last night protesting1 against
the establishment of a treaty with
Japan conferring" upon Japanese tn
this country privileges t forbidden
them by the California anti-alien
land law. The telegram read in part
as follows:
"Associated Press telegrams of No
vember 13, published here November
14, referring to negotiations between
the state department and the Japa
nese ambassador, say it -is understood
that the manner of excluding labor
from the United States whether by
treaty or through decree promulgated
by the Japanese government is re
garded as a question, not of principle,
but of expediency.
"The Japanese exclusion league of
California earnestly protests against
the adoption of any method for ex
cluding alien labor which is not di
rect and explicit, the &ct of this
government to be enforced under its
own legislation or under treaty pro
vision and by its own officials.
It certainly is a matter of princi
ple for this country not to surrender
to any foreign government the right
to determine and declare what immi
gration shall enter through our ports;
such surrender is apparently contem
plated in this case. . . . Such
right was surrendered to Japan under
the existing 'gentlemen's agreement'
with the result that the Japanese
population of California increased
three-fold in 13 years since negotia
tion of that agreement, while the
Chinese population decreased in 20
years under the exclusion act 60
per cent.
"This country has surrendered to
no other nation save Japan the right
to determine what immigration shall
enter through our ports and no other
nation in the world has surrendered
to a foreign power its similar right.
"We protest earnestly also against
exclusive concessions to the- Japanese
of the alien races ineligible to citi
zenship 1 in contemplated treaty pro
visions as reported) under which the
California law forbidding control "of
agricultural lands to such ineligible
aliens, passed under the state's -con-tit
utional rights, shall be set aside.
. . . Please note that the present
treaty with Japan specifically fails
to accord to the Japanese in this
country the privileges forbidden them
by the California law and which .the
reported provisions of the contem
plated treaty would confer on them."

Squier's recent discovery that unin

"With suitable apparatus messages
may be transmitted and received prac

surface of the globe and the speed of
this form of communication operates
to place any two points on the earth's
surface in practically instantaneous
connection," General Squier said.
It was stated that radio operators
were trained and sent to the western
aerial forest Tire patrol and the
Alaskan military cable service, and
particularly pood success was met in
developing the army's carrier pigeon
service. .
Among the achievements of the
corps chronicled in the report were
the design and completion of a cav

and the completion of an army ob
servation plane radio telegraph and
telephone set with a range of 80 to
100 miles telephone and 200 to 250
miles telegraph, in addition to the
designing of a large number of mi
nor parts calculated to improve exist
