Coast Voters to
Pass On Japanese
Issue Tuesday
Fight for Measure to Deny
Orientals Land Privileges In
. California Long Drawn
Out Struggle.
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.'

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."

which was believed this afternoon
to fiave been attained on the basis

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." Harding Wins in Straw

Conference. '
May Appeal to Congress
, Washington, Oct. 28. 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,

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 ;
