By R. W. DYDER. Chieoco Tribone-Omaha IeaMI Win. (Copyilfht. 1920, by the Chicago Tribune.) San Francisco, Oct. 28. The his tory of California's measure fo deny Japanese the right to lease agricul tural land is interesting. Its pro ponents first sought its enactment by the Californ ia- legislature, . asking that a special session, be called. This the governor declined, announcing that he nad received a, cablegram from Secretary of State Lansing, ihen in Versailles, which expressed fear that such legislation would seri ously interfere with the successful negotiation of the peace treaty. Proponents of the measure, how ever, merely marked time, for a month or two later we find them again urging the governor to con vene the legislature. Again the governor declined, giv ing as a further reason that the matter was of such tremendous im portance that any consideration of it should be thoroughly i divorced from politics and preceded by the fullest and fairest investigation, which investigation he had ordered the state board of control to make. Governor Remains Firm. . And, despite much of protest and criticism from various' anti-Japanese leaders, the governor adhered Xo his position. Whether the anti-Japanese leaders feared the result of such an investi gation. it is impossible to say, but they did refuse to await t, proceed ing at once to prepare a measure embracing their program, to bevsub mitted to the voters through the initiative. It is this measure which, s this iwritten. has just been given the first position upon California's No vember ballot and in behalf of which a thoroughly organized and active state-wide campaign now is being made.V Those actively urging adoption of tlie measure claim that it is consti tutional and in accord with our treaties with Japan, but those op posing it vigorously assert its un constitutionality and violation of ex- ! isting treaties. Therefore, if it passes, the meas ure will no doubt ultimately find its way into the court for determma- ti0"; . - , . - - - The placing of such a measure upon the ballot is one tangible re- suit of the anti-Japanese agitation in Californij. , ' Hearings Concluded. ' Another thing for which the hos- ''c agitation was. largelv responsible was the coming to the Pacific coast of at sub-committee Of the congres sional committee on immigration and naturalization, which has just concluded extensive hearings in California and Washington upon the whole Japanese situation as it ex ist today. That great good will come as the result of these hearings is the gen eral concensus of opinion, for the committee saw and heard all phases of the situation. In an article such as this, it would be impossible to take up in detail the" vast amount of testimony ad duced. Therefor; we will undertake to present and discuss only the salient ooints. In all agitation against the Jap anese there have been four points mrt stronglv stressed. The first, that Japan has flagrant ly violated the "gentlemen's agree ment." Th second, that the birth rate of the Japanese here is dangerously hieti. ( ,. , .-. The third, that the Japanese are increasing so rapidly and securing such control of land and industry as to endanger white supremacy The fourth, that the Japanese are "incapable of assimilation.' : I VI I r l LucUienffe to Republican Nominee Reiter ates ' Stand t Against -Acceptance of Treaty of Versailles. Akron, O., Oct. 28. Renewing his charge to democratic leaders to show any inconsistency or change of position in his utterances on the league issue, Senator Harding de clared in a speech tonight that he had stood unfailing against accept ing membership in the Versailles league, but in favor of an interna tional association , founded on prici ples of justice. The republican nominee also reit erated his faith in party government and asserted that he did not desire to be president unless a republican congress also were elected to trans late republican promises into per formance. He made a special pica for a republican senate, declaring the nation owed to the present sen ' eb ?J S'l .?!? coma be paid, unarges ot a sen ate oligarchy," he pronounced as entirely false. In stating his position ' on the league, Mr. Harding declared he had voted for ratification with res trvations because that was the only way the senate could deal with the problem as it was presented by the president. He outlined the argu ment in favor of the reservations on mandates, withdrawal of article 10. and said that all the republican 0, ualiffcations had been designed to ''limit our obligations, not to make them clearer." Sympathy for Armenia. . The president's proposal for a mandate over Armenia, the candi date assented, had shown in striking fashion, tbe wisdom of the republi can reservations He added that al though the United States sympa thized deeply with Armenia it could not afford to send an army of 70.- 1. 'OO to 100,000 there "after Great Britain and France had taken all the desirable territory bordering on Ar menia, leaving to Uncle Sam the ;? laving and oppressed people, of Ar menia. I Quoting from- a British publica tion which declared the United States was doing more than any other nation in world rehabilitation by its contributions to European re lief, the nominee said: "That is the sould of America. Talk about breaking the . heart of the world. America is healing the heart of the wot Id. But even if the heart-breaking tragedy were true, 1 would rather break the heart of. the world than destroy the soul of American nationality." In his discussion of party govern ment and the league, Senator Hard ing said: r-"l know Tretty well that the .Americans people are thinking-of cjtling the republican party back to service in the-nation. ' I iave a very strong conviction that you are going to elect a republican as president of the United States. But I warn you. don't do it unless you" intend to put the republican party in power in congress, as well as in tbe executive office. ' G., O. P. Senate Important "I would not want to be your president unless you are going to give, us a republican .congress to translate republican promises into legislative enactments. 'It is very important to have a majority in the United States senate, and you ought always to think of the senate as sav ing to you your American liberty. Don't be distressed about the so called 'senatorir.l oligarchy. There isn't any.' I think we would have succeeded this year in harmonizing the senate into a completely useful agent if it had not been for the interference- of the chief executive, who mas not satisfied with writing his own end of Pennsylvania avenue. "Oh' they say, "You can not tell where Harding stands on the league.". . "Well let's see if I can tell you where I stand. I am at least en titled to speak. for myself. I have been speaking since the 22d of last July, and I charge -any democrat in America, high or low, to find a con tradiction in anything I have said. "I said in the beginning that wc were opposed to an armed military alliance with the old world, and I say it now. I have said frequently and I say now, -that we are never going to have anything to do with a league with article 10 in it."

Fooling Nobody Repudiatonof League Covenant Demanded of Cox Hughes Calls on Governor to "Repudiate Obligation Article X Would Im- ! pose 'on U. S," . By Tbe Auoclated From. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 28. A de mand that Governor Cox "frankly repudiate the obligation which Article X of the league of , nations would impose upon the United States" was made in an address here today before the Columbia club by Charts Evans Hughes. x ' The speaker, after, a detailed an alysis of the article, declared it would obligate the United States to "underwrite the territorial delimita tions of - the Versailles treaty, whether good or bad." He said there was no necessity for "clarify ing" the article, as proposed by the democratic presidential candidate. "The only thing that will reassure the American people is to eliminate it," said Mr. Hughes. "In case of future conflict," the speaker continued J "whatever may be our opinion til its merits, and however removed lit may be from any interest of ours, we are bound to go to war if necessary to pre serve as against external aggression, territorial possessions recognized under the treaty. The objection to this is that it does sacrifice our in dependence of judgment. It com mits us in advance to act iu un known contingencies." The speaker cited the democratic platform and Governor Cox's con ference 'with President Wilson soon after his nomination, in an effort to show that the president and Gover nor Knox stood together on Arti cle X. . , , "Governor CoV now says, that he is willing to Acept reservations that will clarify, or will be helpful, that will reassure the American people," said Mr. Hughes. "Does the can didate expect to scap , with such banalities? What will 'clarify,' 'help,' 'or 'reassure?' ' "There is no necessity to 'clarify if the obligation is retained, and the one thing that will 'help' or 'reas sure' is to eliminate the obligation. Will Mr. Cox do that? Not by try ing to 'reassure' and retaining Ar ticle X at the same, time, but will he frankly repudiate the obligation which this article seeks to impose?" - Mr. Hughes asserted that America desires 'an association of nations" which would dispose of contro versies "according to law and not ex pediency."

Labor leaders participated today with rep resentatives of farmers, in a further conference to devise ways and means of obtaining credits for "the orderly marketing" of farm products. Fail ure to secure such credits, speakers declared, might result in the inau guration of a general crop holding movement until market prices would provide tost of production and a reasonable profit. A general committee to draw uc i. policy to be followed by the con ference 'was appointed, with John Tromble of Kansas, as chairman and all the various agricultural in terests represented. It went into executive session immediately. Further conferences might be , sought with the Treasury depart ment and the federal reserve board, it was said, and congress asked for relief if it could not be obtained , otherwise. . Statement Unsatisfactory. The conference met on call of the committee appointed by a recent similar gathering to receive. the an-, swer of the federal reserve board to the plea for more credits. , The statement of the board was declared by this committee to be unsatisfac tory. A loan of $1,000,000,000. the United States to Germany was one plan laid before the policy commit-. tee. William W. Brauer of New York, who asserted that he repre sented the German government, asked the committee to endorse leg islation by congress, authorizing such a loan to Germany. He said the German government was pre pared to give such a loan priority over all reparations payments un der the Versailles treaty. . Property of the German government and the German nationals, seized by the alien property custodian, and claims arising from the seizure of Gjerman shipping would be offered as addi tional security, Mr. Brauer said. Germany was ready to purchase $200,000,000 of original products im mediately, he asserted, on such an extension of credit. ; ' Has Contract With Geremany. Mr. Brauer said he had a contract with, the German government, au- thonzing him to obtain the $1,000, 000,000 loan and have sole charge of spending. it. " . : t "" . v v ; Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, and William H. Johnston, president of the International Association - of Machinists, promised their co-opera-, tion with the farmers. Mr. Johnston declared Warren S. Stone, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, had authorized him to give his support to the effort to se cure credits for the orderly crop marketing.
