London, Dec. president Roosevelt's
message to the American congress oc-
cupies the most prominent place in the
leading newspapers this morning, and
has attracted widespread attention
from government officials, diplomats
and the public, The prevailing tone OF
the comment is favorable particularly
with reference to the presidents state
ments on the Japanese question, the
newspapers emphasizing the president
warning of possible use of the feder-
al forces for the protection of the Jan
anese. This feature of the message has
given especial satisfaction in official
Japanese quarters, where it is pointed
out that Japan is satisfied to await the
outcome of the issue between the state
and federal authorities.
The Daily Telegraph says the presi-
dent speaks out resolutely and fear
lesesly, knowing that the democracy
likes a man who is not afraid to be its
master
The Standard says that the most sig
niheant feature of the message is that
the president is constantly finding him
self "up against the American consti-
tuition, Far sighted observers have long
since seen that the United States has
outgrown its cradle. yet the conserva-
tive sentiment of the most conservative
people on earth clusters strongly around
the constitution. If there are to be re-
forms, they can only result from a dras-
tic reconstruction Of the political sys-
tenn, and the prospect of their realiza-
ton appears somewhat remote.
The Daily News says the president
seems to be wrestling with forces he
can comprehend but cannot control.
The Daily Express finds in the mes
sage a striging demonstration of the
fact that the main currents Of the ma
tional life in England and America are
sweeping forward in parallel lines,
the struggle of nationallsm
and anti-nationalism. and of the state
against socialism.
Paris, Dec. 5.-The morning papers

pages, and publish dispatches from
New York recording the feeling of dis
satisfaction over the presidents ref
erences to the San Francisco situa-
ion.
The Petit Parisien says President
Roosevelt accentuates his continued
efforts for peace and justice by dis
countenancing the attitude of the peo-
pie of the Pacific dlast
The Figaro says president Roolye-
velt does not hesitate to condemn
The Californian attitude with his Gus
lomary frankness and loyalty"
The Eclair says; president Roose-
1elt's clear vision and knowledge of
he present conditions render him cir
he is the only man in the
United States capable Of causing vio-
ent spirits to reflect"
Rome, Dec. 4-President Rooseveltfs |
Message to the American congress has
PRODUCED an excellent impression here.
His denunciation of lynching and the
upon peace and righteous
less and when war is not merely ius-
ifiable but imperative, have been re-
eived with especial satisfaction For
ign Minister Tittoni perused the text
# the message carefully and charac-
erized it as excellent.
