Republican. Minne sota, in the form of a bill framed by the judiciary committee ot the American Bar association. Senator Kellogg said that the measure was put forward to raise the Issue and not to apply neces sarily to any specific situation, r Power Given President. Under the bill, the president would be authorized, where in als judgment any statute of a rate or territory contravened treaty rights of aliens to instruct the attorney general to take up the defense of civil or criminal prosecutions brought by state of ficials before state courts, and to secure 'their remoral to federal courts for trial. -. - The .federal courts would take jurisdiction when an act has been committed against aliens which would i constitute crimes under state laws and penalties similar to those provided in the state statutes would be imposed in case of acts .against American citizens. United 8tates marshals and, if necessary, army or navy forces would be available to enforce de cisions. . ' ' Government Now Helpless. .Under present conditions there is no law authorising intervention by the federal government for the protection of aliens in state pro ceedings. Senator Kellogg said.

Senator Kellogg did not cire to comment on the possibil ity that the measure would apply to the. Japanese question on the Fteiflc coast, though the terms : of the bill apparently would give tt federal government power to Intervene in anti-alien land pro ceedings nnder such acts as the California law in case treaty rights of aliens appeared jeopar dized.
