Administration Plans New Atjrcc
ment Whereby the Status or Japs
as Residents and Landholders In
United States Will Be Settled.
WASIIINOTON, Mny 13.A new
Japanese treaty to settle definitely
forever the status of Japanese as
residents; nnd landholders ir tho
United Stales is (o ho the hauls of a
new treaty with Jnpnn soon to !a ne
gotiated, necording (o information to
day nt Hie state department.
This trcnly, it Is said, will bo con
cluded independently of vfhntMtction
Governor Johnon of Cnlifornin tnkes
nn the new alien Innd law of tlmt
state. It is admitted by attaches of
the department thnt Scoretnry Ilrynu
nnd Ambassador Chimin believe that
the time has nrrived lo finally settle
nil po-siblo xiints of controversy nnd
have determined Hint there is n com
mon ground on which they can meet
to draw up such h convention.
The result of this, it Is expected,
will be a definitely worded treaty
which will replace tho present loose
imderstnndiiip of ihe " gentlemen'
agreement" made hy President Koose
velt with the Nippouesc.
No definite indication of what tho
JiiMinesc protest ngalnst tho Cnlifor
nin land bill contained hits yet heeit
made public here. It is admitted,
however, that the prote-t is general
in character nnd it is denied that it
definitely demands that Japanese bo
declared eligible to citizenship.
Persons familiar witlt the situation
state that the protest is bused on n
feeling thnt there is an effort every
where in the United States to dis
criminate ngainst tho Japanese be
cause they arc ineligible to citizen
Jiitu The- protefoslwrftho. prei- -dent
to remedy this discrimination.
Diplomats here, as a whole, think
Hint n new treaty between Japan and
