THE JAPANESE QUESTION
A CONFERENCE AT WHITE HOUSE
ON THE SUBJECT.
Threatened California Legislation
of Utmost Importance.

Washington-The president talked
cautiously with some of his congress
sional visitors Thursday. He went
so far as to say he thought nothing
pending in congress nor any of the diff
ferences between himself and con-
gress were of half the Importance as
the Japanese-C California question.
Although talking with great deliber-
alton and care, the president still
recognizes the existence Of deep-found-
ed antagonistic sentiment to the ia
panese in California and the wisdom
of placating that sentiment so as to
end the agitation with as little delay
as possible. Because of the almost
unanimous sentiment in the state the
president realizes the responsibility
upon Gov. Gillett in using his infu-
ence upon the legislature to stop leg
islation at this session and wants to
do all he can to share some of that
responsibility.
Senator Flint, in his conference at
the White House, agreed with the
president IN considering the Durden
upon Gov. Gillett an important and
serious one and is willing to share
with the governor the work of trying
to allay the irritation. The president
is not hesitating to use the power of
Senator Flint and will not refrain from
doing anything within reason himself.
, Senator Flint and other Californians
have told the president plainly that
while they are willing to help him
they do not place much confidence in
the figures of the government as to
the decreasing number of Japanese in
this country.
The facts dispute the figures" they
declare, and add that the Japanese are
taking possession of whole towns.
