The United ment and its able secretary of state have certainly got them- selves into a fix by their inter- ference with the passage of the California alien land act, and must certainly act quickly and declare such legislation in violation of treaty rights or the Japan ambassador will de- mand his exequator and leave for home. That is generally understood to be a declaration of war. As pointed out in the despatches of yesterday there is a possibility that a test case may be rushed through to the supreme court, which may de- cide that California's law is unconstitutional. And it is un- constitutional, in that the con- stitution places the _ treaty above the statute laws. If the court holds that, the American people will them be confronted with the danger of government by treaties. California's lands are her own, except for certain purposes. Another point is that no party and no administration can afford tq undertake to de- States gover- a Friday, May 16, 1913. liberately force a state to sub- mit to Mongolization. Already fifty thousand~ acres of Cali- fornia’s best land has gone into the hands of the Japanese. The more they buy the more white people want to sell and get away. Can Mr. Wilson and the Democratic party afford to go on record as trying to force California to become a Japan- ese state? Connected with these two is the that the Oriental mind is different. If California is coerced or persuaded by the federal government to recede from her position, the Japan- ese will consider that by their persistence they have forced the government to yield. That will mean further’ trouble; probably further demands. The Oriental mind most readily un- derstands force, and it also un- point UNIVERSAL GOOD WILL BETWEEN ALL NATIONS All Foreign Governments to be Urged by International Con- ference to Eliminate Wer New York, May 13-—The tions of the world are urged to join the United States, Great Bri- na tain, Canada, Newfoundland and Australia and the municipality of} Ghent in making the celebration of the one hundred years of peace among English-speaking peoples signalize a new era of interna tional goodwill. The invitation was issued today by international conference now in this country The manifesto issued by the conference asks that the British secretary of foreign affairs and the United States secretary of state transmit the the governments The manifesto says: “We invite co-operation that it may be made clear and unmis- takable to public opinion that the time has come when internation- al rivalries and differences may be settled without the horrors of war.” The manifesto that Great Britain has been a colon- izing nation and that the United invitation to the world. of recites States has drawn its population from various countries and sta tes that, therefore, the celebra tion of peace between English speaking peoples touches the in land to which Great Britain's sons have @one and every nation from which the population of the United States is drawn WITHOUT A COUNTRY | Those Immigration Inspectors at | the Boundary Get Off Some | Peculiar Stunts. | James Kennedy, a Scotchman, |W ho entered the United States ten years ago from a British vessel j which he deserted at New Orleans, is now being held at Blaine by ithe immigration inspectors.
