ter whether the President Of the United
States. OF the army or navy. or thu SUI
preme Court OF the United States has the
right to infringe or abridge or abrogats
these privileges guaranteed BY the fun

This right Of State sovereignty Is one Of,

California, knowing her own troubles
better than any other state. was strictly
within her rights when measures vera
proposed 20 protect herself against ths-
inroads made By foreigners against citi-
zens Of the United States who were born
on the soil of the state. It Is the duty q
the government TO protect its citizens
against foreign aggression. and the stats
legislature OF California intended 20 pass
measures for the protection OF her cit-
zens against the japanese. who are dEiV-
Ing native Americans and citizens OF the
United States out Of existence. when
President Roosevelt stepped n and inter
Tered With the proposed relief measures.
The President Of the United States Is
supposed TO protect his own peoples
against foreign aggression: in fact. Il IS
his sworn duty 70 DO so. Il seems that
President Roosevelt in our case has the
welfare OF the japanese deeper az heart
than the interests Of American citizens,
who are suffering from the cheap oon@s
petition In all fields OF labor OF the yellow
races.
President Roosevelt" added Mr.. Col
den, for no expIainabIe reason has taken
the part OF the foreigner against his own
people. Every State legislature ought to
place itself on record and protest against
the interference Of the President IN State
legislation, and they should thereby pro-
tect themselves from similar attack on
their rights.
1T would have been far better Il the
President had Endorsed the measures
which we're contemplated by the Califog-
MIA Legislature 10 protect its citizens
against foreigners. and every STATE legis-
lature should have done the same thing.
T. u looks very much as Il President Roose-
welt had backed down bsfore a power
which not only was over5earing in its
demands. but Absolutely wrong and TN
! justified: that taat power could not afford

States because It Is bankrupt and that

ICHford. is admired in England as n
Ienergetic. wise. and patriotic statesman.
but there seems to be an opinion here
and there that he proceeded against
trusts and corporations little too forcIeiy
and hastily"
/ Lord Clfnord said he thought that every
I
question as It saw Fl. and that the United
states therefore should not be interfered
with IN its dealings with the japanese.
He thought. however. that the matter
was exaggerated BY Americans for the
purpose OF inducing CONGRESS to make
larger appropriations for an increased
navy
The Englishman said he cid not believe
that there was any good reason why
Germany and England should not Ess
along peacefully. but ne admitted that
England was puzzled over the haste with
which Germany wss building new
navy.
Speaking about free trade and protec-
ton. in England. Lord Clifford said that
sooner OF later England would have 70
adopt the protective tariff system. and
that the late by-election 10 Parliament
had shown that the people were in favor
OF protecting English manufacture and
labor against the markets Of the world
Lord Clifford also spoke about the new
volunteer army which had recently been
authorized BY Parliament He c0ntsnded
that England should have a volunteer
army OF 10000. which should be Offered
by retired military men.
The work OF the small holdings got n
England is being watched with interest
according 20 Edward Corrie, Of London,
who is at the Arlington.
While the act has Enthusiastically proved
( the demand for small holdings said
Mr. Corrie. the express demand was not
the actual demand. for a good many eau
tious lsbOrers were waiting 70 see how
their holder fellows would get on. In
! thirty-ons counties and divisions OF corn-
ties in England 1900 acres have been
obtained, and 4si acres IN Wales. The
/ previous small holdings act OF 1Ssz pro-
vi6ed only 500 acres
