Hy mu tual arrangement between Secretary Ury an and Ambassador Chlnda, tho correspondence between tho Unltod Stntes nnd Japan over the California nntl-allcn land law I to bo published In Itoth countries simultaneously to morrow morning. Tho correspondence begin with tho Japan protest of May, 1913, In advance of tho enactment ot tho Wobb law, and wind up with tho last Auiorlcau note of yesterday' date, making answer to a communi cation from tho lapanese govern ment received ten month ago. t'orrrMindcnrc Voluminous The correspondence Is necessarily voluminous for tho reason that It I largely argumentative; the Japanese government endeavoring to show that tho California law I n violation ot the existing treaty, whllo tho Ameri can ldo of tho case lay great stress un certain language ot tho treaty which apparently almost In terms ex cludes Japanese from the right to hold agricultural land. Taken in connection with tho declaration ot the Webb act, that It I not intended to Invalidate existing treaties, tho American concntlon seek to ustify tho president for declining to attack the constitutionality ot tho Califor nia law. Tho last American note was an after-thought. State department offi cials had concluded that tho Japanese note ot last August ha brought the negotiations to au Impasso; that each fldo had reached a radical disagree ment ns to tho tcope of tho treaty and tho California law. They foil that the only way to clear away the difference would bo through a legal test ot tho constitutionality ot tho California legislation and thoy In clined to the belief that It remained for tho Japanese government to make this test through a suit Instituted by a Jnpnneso resident ot California.
