Japan's Offer Not Accepted
Washington. Administration of
ficials contlnuo to decline to discus
for publication any of th phase of
av
lne negotiations with Jspan growing
out of tho proposed anti-Japanese land
law in California, but th impression
has gono out that a proposal from
Tokio that tho question b referred to
a joint commission for solution would
bo unacceptable. -'
Conversations regarding tho Cali
fornia law haro been going on be
tween Ambassador Shidebara of Japan
and state department ofticiala.
.The attltudo ot th state depart-,
ment is described as one calculated to
prevent tho development ot a feeling
of alarm in the United States that'
might approach oven approximately
that which appears to bo growing in
Japan.
Conflicting opinions of both Amerl-,
can and Japanese authorities on in
ternational law are said to have mad
tho task ot tho state department offi-
UO UUIK VI KilV
clals and tho Japanese ambassador
difficult. Prooonents ot tho CjO-
more difficult. Proponents ot th. Cal
ifornia law say that California, in n
acting a measure barring tho Japan
ese in this country from owning land
in that state, would be refusing to tho
Japanese no rights or privileges that
are not refused by Japanese law to
Americans.
Japan contends that th. California
law, which is to bo voted onin No
vember, is dlscrlmlnatory,becaus. it
does not apply to ail foreigners alike,
as does tho Japanese law. , ,
O. K. Hartwig of Portland, president
