PRESIDENT CONSIDERS CALIFORNIA SITUATION Government Powerless to Allay Japanese Feeling. Federal Washington, April _16.—President ‘Wilsort canvasseq with Secretary Lane of the interior department today tha situation that has arisen in the lat- ter's mative state, California, with re- gard 'to the ownership of land by allens. The president and Mr. Lane studfed | the two bills now pending befors the California legislature. No comment | was forthcoming from the Whits House but it is believed that the measure eventually passed will not differ from alien land laws already in effect in the District of Columbia and territories of the Union. For this reason there is little hope entertained in official circies hers that: the popular feeling in Japan will be allayeq though it is confidently ex- pected that the Japanese government will understand the difficuities of the situation for the federal government and that its basis of protest will be removed by the final construction of the bills.
