SACRAM ENTO, Cal., Jan. 9.—After
i
twenty-six years of legislative encleav-1
or to drive the Japanese from Califor
nia agriculture and with those efforts j
finally crowned wtih success through!
recent decisions of the United States!
supreme court upholding the anti-al
ien land laws, this state today findsfr
itself wondering if it has not succeed-l
ed a little too well. 1
First effect of the complete ousting
of the Orientals from all agricultur-i'
| al activities except as day wage earn
! ers are just commencing to make;
themselves felt and already there is I
| a tendency in many sections to regret'
that anti-alien land legislation liasj
I been so sweeping.
This feeling is rapidly gaining a
headway as thousands of Japanese
I
, farmers refusing to go back to their
former status as wage earners are pre-|
paring to depart for states farther'
east Something like 50,000 Orientals
are expected to join in this nugatory;
I movement and Oregon and Washing
ton, wtih similar land laws, will conj
: tribute many to the eastward hegira.
The objective points, according to
Japanese asosciations here will be the
larger centers of population along the
! Atlantic seaboard and in the central
states where the Japanese plan to es
’ tablish truck farms.
I The anti-alien land act prohibits all
! persons ineligible to citizenship—
mostly Japanese, Chinese and Hindus
—from owning or leasing farm lands,
! from tilling land on crop share agree
ments, and also from owning stock in
! land holding corporations.
Farming has long since ceased to
attract Chinese in California. Most of
them are in mercantile pursuits or
conduct lotteries The Hindus are few
and they have always been content to
be wage earners, but the anti-alien
land laws hit the Japanese with terri
T fic force, for out of the 120,Oou Japan
l ese in California, 58 per cent are en
gaged in agricultural pursuits, and
four-fifths of that number are “on
their own.’ ’
Briefly summarized the situation
here is that, having had its anti-Jap
anese legislation declaration valid, the
state is suddenly confronted with
525,QUO acres of farm lands left with
out tenants and an annual income oi
$73,000,000 derived from the sale of
Japanese grown farm products in east
ern markets is suddenly lopped off.
Coincidentally there has been a sud
den depreciation in farm land values,
p The cry for white farmers from oth
| er states to replace the Japanese al
| ready has gone out. But even with
5 white fanners there is still a question
| whether California can ever regain
| the agricultural prestige which tli€
i Japanese have helped her attain.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—Diplomatic
relations between the United States
and the Soviet government of Russis
are far from being resumed.
The controversy wrhich has been go
ing on with reference to the authen
ticity of the documents urging the fo
lowers of the Third Internationale t<
•arise and put the flag “on the White
House” is only a part of the problen
now. The fact that the Russians ar<
i so exercised over Secretary Hughes
■ disclosures is interesting, but official
do not observe the soviets disavowim
the Third Internationale or denounc
ing the doctrines which have been th<
basis of soviet propaganda in the Uni
ted States.
1 Judging by the comments which th
episode has brought out the publi
has missed one point that has not far
ed to arouse indignation in inner cii
1 cles here. It relates to the Russia]
/offer to recognize certain debts du
'America since the Czar’s regime. Oi
its face the suggestion seems as if th
Russians were beginning to meet th
American government half way bu
* coupled with their offer is a demam
t that the United States reciprocate b;
paying damages for the occupation o
Russian territory, both in Siberia am
in the Arachangel region. The Rus
' sians have been figuring out that fo
American consumption they woul
1 recognize the war debt, but wouli
turn around and In the same offer dt
Imand enough for the occupation o
Russian territory to offset the amoun
of that debt and in effect cancel th
bill.

ria, who had taken Austrian citizen

France before the war began and the
remainder of the collection was seiz
ed by the entente powers.
