Japan Will Renew Treaty With U. S. Says Chinda.

* Viscount Chinda, the Japanese ambassador, has advised Secretary Bryan that Japan is willing to renew for another five years her arbitration treaty with the United States. The old treaty expires by limitation August 24th. It will be necessary in framing the new treaty to alter the alien land ownership feature to comply" with .the action of California and other states that have enacted legislation against ownership of land by aliens not entitled to become citizens. There is some senatorial opposition to the treaty with Great Britain and other countries owing to the complications relating to Panama canal tolls. Secretary Bryan announces that he hopes and expects that the treaty will be confirmed, notwithstanding the present opposition.
