CONGRESSMEN TO
URGE NEW TREATY
TO BAR JAPANESE
Sacramento, CaU July 15. UtP.)
Congressmen here investigating
the Japanese situation will t urge a
new treaty with Japan further re
stricting isn migration a solution
of the problem.
Several, membert of the commit
tee to.day indicated thie course. . It
would follow the line of action sug
gested by the "state board of control
yesterday, through A. Stanley Bene
dict, member of the board.
.At a banquet last nig given by
Congressman Albert Johnson of Wash
ington tne congressmen assured state
officials that tne committee realized
the necessity for action.
No official declaration was made.
Each congressman was called upon,
one after another, to make an ., ad
dress. And all of them, with possibly
ons or two exceptions, indicated that
they were opposed to further immi
gration of Japanese and that they
would act, accordingly on bills now in
their committee. -
Congressman Johnson, chairman,
said: .
OXPITIOX& ARE REALIZED
"I know the conditions here, for am
I not from Washington, where the
same condition occufs? -
"W must make America the land of
Americans."
Congressman John E. Raker of Cali
fornia declared : "For, years I have
been urging the exclusion of the Japa
nese. I now extend to the governor of
the state my assurances that the mat
ter is going to be taken up and dis
posed of satisfactorily."
A new treaty with Japan is the only
practical solution. Congressman fiiegel
believes. j
The banquet? followed a trip into the
country yesterday afternoon. The con
gressmen went out toaee the Japanese
in ths .fields, i talk with tiem in the
settlements and hold impromptu curb
stone hearings. " .
At Penryn they investigated a Japan
ese school that had been so frequently
described to them. - Rev. t. Mitsuiani.
the pastor of the Bhudist temple, showed
the congressmen, at their demand, the
books that were used in the school. Not
one of the books told anything about
the United States.
At Loom is a unique curbstone hearing
was held. The committee questioned
the Japanese employed as to the num
ber of Japanese and white persons in
the community. -. - .
FARMER IS FOB JAPANESE
' Sam Day, prominent farm owner of
the district, took the lead, and in a pic
turesque fashion harrangued to the con
gressmen .rom the curbing in front of
the Japanese commission shed. He was
frankly for the Japanese,
"tat me ask you," he said, turning to
the congressmen, "if you have a neigh
bor -who treats you honestly, in a deal,
do you knock him or do you boost him?
'You Boost him t- That is .tag way we
feel aboiiT the Japs."
Well;" resumed Day, 'Tin 4 The

PLATFORM REGARDED MORE
. RADICAL THAN SOCXAIilSTS
By Harold 1. Jacobs ,
Chicago, July 1 15. (U. P.) A curious
situation confronted?.. members of ; the
Committee of Fortyrcight when they met
at the Hotel Morrison today to deter
mine the future of the organization.
They had seen the i "Farmer-Labor
party" with which they were officially
amalgamated,; but from which many of
them bolted yesterday afternoon, adopt
a platform which, to take the word of
Socialists themselves, Ms more radical
even than the official program of the
Socialist party. ! Then they had seen
JthsTnew party perform the amazing feat
of choosing as Its standard bearer the
man who had been permanent chairman
of their wn national convention be
fore - the "amalgamation," Parley P.
Christensen.
Just what proportion of the Forty-eight
element Christensen may be able to re
tain in the new organization was" prob
lematical. -T j
Leaders of the Forty-eight from the
first have attached far more importance
to their political program than the mat
ter of candidates. -"
It was after the adoption by the new
party of Its platform 1 and before the
selection of its candidates that leaders
of the Forty-eight called today's meeting
to decide its future. Indications were they
would decide to embalm the corpse and
that the committee would continue to
fuAction as a propaganda organization.
with- perhaps ; participation as a local
party In congressional-elections. " '
. J. A. H. Hopkins, addressing the lodge
of sorrow, referred to the laborite plat
form as "the foundation of communism
and declared that "the real cause of labor
has been betrayed by Its friends."
OUTLOOK FOR THIRD PARTY
BLACK; RADICALS CONTROL

Carmen's Hall, Chicago, July 15. The
new third' party wears almost exclusively
radical labor clothes. It was dressed
Wednesday f In i near Socialist woolens.
carefully' ironed out by the highly or
ganized and disciplined machinery of the
"American Labor party," which was con
tinuously In complete control -of the pro
ceedings. It was formally christened tHe
"Farmer-Labor" party. : - I
. When the .convention after ? hours 'of
noisy confusion and bitter debate, de
feated the ''conservative platform" of
fered by the Committee of Forty-eight
and overwhelmingly adopted the radical
platform of the labor element, all hopes
of the Forty-eighters and disinterested
political influences working in support
of a new party that might draw a rep
resentative f and increasingly numerous
vote during the next few , years were
dashed. . '
TIDE MAT TtfRfT LATE? T
Wednesday night the Forty-eighters
leaders and other disappointed elements
held a conference to take stock of the
failure of their efforts and decide upon
their future plans. As expressed by a
number of these, the concensus of opin
ion among the group fighting labor dom
ination of the new party was this:
"The tragedy is over. This experiment
will follow the path of labor party fail
urea of the past.. This party will not
poll 250.000 votes this fall. Then there
may come an awakening that will permit
of us trying again." ; ;
: Thia may be said to be the view of
George Record. 'Amos Pinchot and rep
resentatives of other political ; faiths
who have been here giving their aid to
the new movement with an eye to 1924.
LOSE THEIB IEADEBS i
Viewed entirety from a non-partisan
stand, the third party, after adoption, of
a platform which in nfeny respects goes
farther than that adopted by the Social
ist party, has no chance to make a
tremendous impression during the next
four years of Amitcan political life. . It
is my opinion now that it will ; do
little more than pull the strength of the
Socialist Labor party polled in 1916 plus
some radical farmer votes in the Non
partisan league - territory. .. Members : of
the latter organisation, for the most part.
worked. hand In hand with the labor
ites.
But in Ignoring the appeal of the more
conservative elements represented in the
amalgamated . convention, the dominant
factors of the new party deprived them
selves of those resources of money and
experienced political management that
would have come to them through pro
gressive leaders like Pinchot and others.
They deprived themselves of the assured
leadership of Senator La Follette.' who
would have brought with him leaders of
no little political sagacity. .
