THE PRESENT POLICY IS WORKING WELL. To Change It Would Be a Grave Misfortune— Federal Gowernment’s Attitude in View of Anti-Japanese ¢chool Legislation—President Insists on a “Square Deal” with Japan—Californians at White House. » X ‘Washington, Feb. 8.—"The policy of the Sminiattation 18 to combine the Imaximum of efficiency in achieving the real object which the peorle of the Pacific slope have at heart, with the sninimum of friction and trobule, ‘while the misguided men who advocate such action as this against which I protest Gre following & policy which combines the very minimum of efficiency with the maximum of insult, and which, while totally falling to achieve anv real Yesuits for good, yet might accomplish an infinity of harm.” LA Just and Grave Cause for Irritation. In thig language-President Roosevelt in a long telegram today to Speaker P. A, Stanton of the California assem- bly set forth the government's view of the anti-Japanese school legislation now before that body. The president sajd that the bill gives just and grave cause for irritation and \ Lex Well Enough Alone. “In the last six month3 under this policy more Japhnese ldve left the country than have come in, and the total number in the United States has diminished by over 2,000. “If, in the next year or two, the ac- tion of the federal government fails to achieve what it is now achieving, then through the further action of the pres- ident and congress it can be made en- tirely efficient. I am sure the sound Jjudgment of the people of California Wil support you, Mr. Speaker, in your efforts. Let me repeat that at present we are actually doing the very thing which the people of California wish to be done, and to upset the arrange- ment under which this is being done cannot do good and may do great harm. If, in the nekt year or two, the figures of immigration prove that the arrangement which has worked so suc- ihat the government would be obliged immediatery to take action in the fed- eral courts to test such legislation be- cause it is held to be clearly a viola- tion of the treaty obligations of the Tnited States. The telegram to Speak- er Stanton was sent only, after a con- ference with Senator Flint and Rep- resentative Kahn of California and F. XK. Lane of the - interstate commerce commission. President Hopes There Will Be No Misunderstanding. To Speaker Stanton the president sent the following, in part: “T trust there will be no misunder_ | standing of the federal government’s attitude. We are jealously endeavoring 10 guard the Interests of Callfornia and of the entire west in accordance with W the desires of our western people. By friendly agreement with Japan we are now carrying out a policy which, while meeting the Interests and desires of the Pacific slope, is yet compatible not merely with mutual self-respect. but with mutual esteem and admiration be. tween the Americans and Japanes Mutuality of Obligation and Behavior. “The Japanese government is loy- wlly and in good faith doing its part to carry out this policy, precisely as the American government is doing. This policy aims at mutuality of obilgation and ‘!M\'So In accordance with it the purpose is that the Japanese shall come here exactly as Americans go to Jepan, which is in effect that travel- ers, students, persons engaged in in- ternational business, men who sojourn for pleasure, or study, and the like, shall have the freest access from one country to the other, and shall be sure of the best treatment, but that there shall be no settlement en masse by the people of either country in the other, cessfuily during the last six months is no longer working successfully, then there would be ground for grievance, and for the reversal by the national government of its present policy. But at present the policy is working well, and until it works badly it would be | o grave misfortune to change it, and when_changed it can only be changed effectively by the national government.
