An Associated Press dispatch says:
Senate democrats agreed upon a
policy designed to prevent control
of senate affairs by a few members
and to distribute powers lodged in
committee chairmen. Resolutions
accepted by the caucus give to the
majority members of any committee
the right to call a meeting and desig
nate members of conference commit
tees and subcommittees. Democratic
senators expressed the opinion In the
caucus that the new policies would
prevent tho burying of legislation in
a committee through the action of
a chairman who might be opposed to
it. A further change, advocated by

The president talked informally
about the question in his semi-week
ly conference with the newsnanpr
men indicating the delicate pS
involved. While the present tr aty
with Japan stipulates that citizens
of each country, while traveling in
the other, shall have a right to own
houses and factories and shops and
to lease land, it says nothing about
the right to own land. On the other
hand, though the old laws of Japan
against foreign ownership of land
have been abrogated, the imperial
edict necessary to put into force new
ly enacted laws has not been issued
so that American citizens can not
own land in Japan.
While the administration does not
construe the treaty as giving Japan
ese specifically the right to own
land, it feels that the agreement does
guarantee that Japanese shall be
treated on the basis of most favored
nations' citizens under the same
clause that is contained in American
treaty with other governments.
The president stated that while
these points had been discussed, the
difficulties really proceeded from tho
domestic constitutional arrange
ments in the United States.
He declared that while nobody for
a moment could challenge the con
stitutional right of California to
pass such land laws as she pleased,
insofar as the federal government
had gone beyond its powers of do
mestic authority in making a treaty,
just so far was It liable to damages,
but that it really was helpless in the
situation.
The president explained that the
Japanese ambassador had acted in a
most proper and delightful manner,
treating the United States as a
friend to Japan, who would wish to
see the best relations prevail. The
Japanese ambassador understood the
principle of state's rights as applied
in the United States, but asked that
the federal government look into the
legislation to see if anything could
be done to make it acceptable to his
country.
Mr. Wilson declared that with thia
spirit the federal government had en
deavored informally to use its good
offices to secure an amicable adjust
ment of the question.
Reassuring word that the Califor
nia legislature would so frame its
la-ws as to save the federal govern
ment from any diplomatic embarrass
ment have come indirectly to the na
tional capital and tho administration
does not believe it is likely to ha
confronted with any serious situation.
