how soon we viii conclude the conferences. We
viii see the President again, at any rate per

we 90 not feel free 70 talk. We have received a
great many kilograms from San Francisco in
dicating that the papers out there are attacking
US for various things we have done and have
not done since coming here. Some Of them say
we have 'surrendered' to the President As no
conclusion has been reached that charge IS man
ifestly unfair
We are not making treaty and have not
discussed with the President the question Of
excluding the japanese from this country by
treaty. on Saturday we heard the Presidents
