New York Times 100 years ago today, August 8, 1913:
Will Again Take Stand That California Law Violates Treaty.
TOKIO, Aug. 8.— The Japanese Government has prepared a new note for presentation to the United States Government in answer to Secretary of State Bryan's last communication to Japan concerning the California alien land ownership legislation.
The new note defends the position Japan previously assumed — that the land ownership bill violates the Japanese-American treaty.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7.— Sailing Aug. 13 from Vancouver on the same ship with Gen. Felix Diaz, Special Ambassador from Mexico to Japan, will be Dr. Juichi Soyeda and Tadao Kamiya, the two commissioners sent to this country by the Affiliated Chambers of Commerce of Japan to investigate the conditions surrounding the California alien land act.
"We hope that the law passed recently at Sacramento will never go into effect, but if it does you may rest assured that the Japanese will regulate their conduct to comply, at the same time striving to enlarge the permanence of their residence here," said Dr. Soyeda to-day.
