Talking with remarkable freedom upon phases of the Japanese-California land controversy which were "loaded with diplomatic dynamite," President Wilson, in his conference with the newspaper correspondents here today unreservedly gave his interviewers complete "inside information" of the controversy as he sees it. The president declared that both he and the Mikado expected an early and amicable arrangement of the California land controversy. He said there was no crisis or near-crisis. Little anxiety and no interference by foreign powers in the present diplo matlc negotiations. After talking freely upon the "dy namite" phases of the .controversy, the president invoked the ban of se-J crecy upon certain more delicate sub jects. He gave orders that the news paper men must not print his opin ions, which, he said, were "purely personal," upon the causes which had inspired Japan to take its pres ent stand. President Whson indicated that he was following out his "confidence plan" in order to end any misunder standing and to make it plain that no issue had been raised in the con troversy which is "not possible of peaceful solution. He believes that some sources of the Japanese war talk are purely conjectural. Reports of the American charge d'affaires at Tokio minimize reports of anti American sentiment there. How far. the "official Japanese opposition" to the California land law has gone was not definitely to be ascertained from the president's talk, but that it certain that he feels that Japan ap predates America's friendly offices which in the past have been exerted in her behalf. The president indicated to the re porters that Secretary Bryan will not reply to Japan's protest until Governor Johnson has signed the anti-land bill. He said that neither nation is inclined to be hasty in the matter, but that both are anxious to proceed carefully to a solution which will mean increased friendship. He also declared that no further nego tiatlons with Governor Johnson are expected. The tentative draft of the reply to Japan is ready and is -being held by Bryan until Johnson's Big nature to the bill makes Its dispatch to Japan timely. The president understands that sentiment on the antl-allen question is divided in California. He has been advised that the northern part of the state is more strongly in favor of exclusion or of checking the set tlement of Asiatics than is the south em part of the state, and this feel ing, it is believed, has made him doubt that the call for the Webb bill is bo strong as appears on the face of things. , Graceful and Inexpensive Summer Styles Shown In I June Good Dressing' There's a variety of Summer designs shown In this number of Good Dressing which will please every one; and we offer an array of dainty Summer materials which will surely satisfy both the taste and the pocketbook.
