ROOSEVELT TELLS
FEDERAL POLICY
Advises Speaker of House That
His Plan Is TO Safeguard liz,
West and Keep Friendly
with Japanese
People.

San Francisco. Feb. 9.-The Chron-
icle this morning prints a special dis
patch from sacramento, predicting
the passage of Doth the anti-Japan-
ese measures now being considered by
the California Legislature. These bills
provide for the segregation of unde-
sirable aliens in the resident districts
of cities and towns and separate
schools for the Japanese children.
Speaker Stanton has been so de-
layed by washouts that it is hardly
likely he can get back to Sacrament
to in time to exert his influence
against the bills. The legislators are
said to be angry with Stanton be-
cause they feel that he has been
'bluffing." They believe that both
the speaker and the national admin
istration have been playing for de-
lay and this feeling is likely to cause
the hackers of the bills to insist on
immediate consideration.
President Outlines Policy.
Washington. Feb. 9.-In a long
telegram to Speaker Stanton of the
California House, President Roosevelt
last night outlined the policy of the
federal government in regard to the
japanese in America. The president
says that the policy of the adminis-
tration is to zealously guard the in
terests of California and of the entire
west i'm compliance with the wishes of
the western people and at the same
time keep friendly relations with
Japan. Continuing he says;
"rhe policy of the administration
is to combine the maximum of eff
cheney in achieving the real object
which the people of the Pacific slope
have at heart with the minimum Of
friction and trouble, while the mis-
guided men who advocate such ac-
ton as this against which | protest
are following a policy which combines
the very minimum of efficiency with
the maximum of insult and which,
while totally failing to achieve any
real result for good, yet might ac-
complish an infinity of harm"

and make hit. the technical phrase goes
