The emphatic" moderation with which the Japanese are viewing the San Francisco school situation, trusting to the ability of President Roosevelt to sttaighten out the tangle. We fear will not be justified by the results. The San Franciscans have a deep seated objection. they say, to the admission to the schools of Japanese boys rang ing up to 90 years of age, and there is no way under the constitution of the United States by which even the presi- dent can remove it. The San Francis cans cool treatment of their fellow townsman. MT. Metcalf, when he preached the subject to them on behalf of the president, was not good sign of their early compliance. It looks as though there was nothing else for the Japanese to do but go ahead and take the Philippines. That IS apparently an easier job than to break into the Cali fornia white school.
