Johnson, Governor, Sac ramento, Cal. The president directs me to express his appreciation of your courtesy in delaying action on the land bill now before you until its provisions could be communicated to the Japanese government and con sidered by it. "His excellency, Baron Chlnda, has, on behalf of his government, present ed an earnest protest against tho measure. As you have before you but two alternatives, viz: to approve or to veto, it will avail nothing to re call to your attention the amendment suggested to the legislature, and as the president has already laid before you his views upon tho subject it is unnecessary to reiterate them. He passes over questions affecting treaty rights for two reasons, first, because the bill passed by the legislature is avowedly intended to conform to treaty obligations, and second, be cause any conflict complained of would be a matter for the courts, but the president feels justified in ex pressing his desire that action on tho subject be deferred for this session and he expresses the desire the more freely because the legislature can bo reconvened at any time if the welfare of the state requires it. "He is fully alive to the importance of removing any root of discord which may create antagonism between American citizens and the subjects of Oriental nations residing here, but ho is impelled by a sense of duty to ex press the hope that you will see fit to allow time for diplomatic action. The nations affected jjy the proposed law are friendly nations nations that have shown themselves willing to co-operate in tho establishment of harmonious relations between their people and ours. "If a postponement commends itself to( your judgment the president will be' pleased to co-operate In a system atic effort to discover and correct any evils that may exist In connection with land ownership by aliens.
