There is disposition among some OF
the senators not to believe that Mr..
Roosevelt meant 10 threaten the people
Of San Francisco, and they are inclined
10 regard the offensive part Of the mes
sage as intended for reading in Toxic,
rather than 10 San Francisco. All sena-
tors are agreed that Mr.. Roosevelt can
do nothing TO force the people Of San
Francisco to surrender their opposition
to the japanese.
