President Wilson Boy? Amicable No gotlattom are opened l>y Comma nieation. Washington, Jan?' ."i.?After reading Japan's latest note on the California anti-alien land law and just before a conference with Ambassador Chlnda, President Wilson today expressed the view that the new communication opened the way for "very interesting and friendly negotiations." The president had a brief confer? ence with Secretary Bryan and an in? formal talk afterwards with Viscount Chlnda He had explained earlier that he did not expect to make any official reply to the Japanese ambassa? dor but would discuss the Tokyo note orally. The president let it be known that there was much matter for discus? sion in the Japanese note, but that none of the documents thus far ex? changed by the two governments had in themselves suggested a solution <?f the land law difficulties. He inti? mated that the negotiations would proceed slowly and carefully, with a view to obtaining a frank expression of the opinions held by the two na? tions. Sooner or hater, it was indl rated, the moaning of the federal laws on naturalization would have to be determined by the courts, though the initiative might have to he taken by Japanese residents, as the government could not Inetitue proceedings. No suggestion for arbitration of the difficulties had thus far been made, it was learned authoritatively, but White House officials reiterated their, confident expression of an amicable, settlement eventually.
