legislative leaders of California ask
ing whether It would be acceptable
for Secretary of State Dryan to visit
Sacramento tottake counsel with th

and cooperate in framing an anti

of California and still would not In
terfere with national treaties.

Governor Johnson waa sent In dupli
cate to tho president ot the senate
and tho speaker ot tho California
assembly, except for the first sen

"Thank you for your patriotic tel
egram. We find It so difficult from
this distance to understand fully tho
situation with regard to tho senti
ment and tho circumstances which
llo back ot the pending proposition

the state of California that I venture
to Inquire whether it will be agree
able to you and to the legislature to
