BLUFFED
STORY OF HOW ROOSEVELT SCARED
-. EASTERN NATION II TOLD TO
PUBLIC FOR THE
FIRST TIME
BLUFFED

WASHINGTON. June 1.-Admis-
sion was made by a nigh official In
Washington today that the famous
around-the-worid trip by the battle
ship fleet, completed in 1909. was In
reality a naval demonstration against
Japan. 1t was directly due to an at
tempt by Ambassador Aoki to brow
beat Eiihu Root, then secretary OF
state. The motive underlying the
cruise is given here for the first time:
1877, when the japanese immi-
grafton situation vas acute, Ambas-
sador Aoki made daily calls at the
department of state" said the Inter
national News Service informant.
hts conference with Secretary
Root the ambassador even went so far
as to threaten the United States with
consequences If It did not yield and
grant practically an open door,to Jap-
anose Immigration to the United
States. Weary of being b~rowbeaten.
Mr.. Root Informed President Roose-
Welt Of the m~enacing attitude assumed
by Japan.
Roosevelt Immediately summoned
the master mind of the navy.
How many hattieships can you
get ready without delay he snapped.
" sixteen of the first class. ready
for any emersencH.' came the reply.
Get them ready instructed Mr..
Roosevelt The next day the feet was
ready. and within q week 1t received
orders To move
by the time these sixteen battle
ships steamed out of Hampton Roads
the attitude of Japan had undergone
a change. 1t no longer talked of con
sequences. The immigration question
WAS quickly and anicabiy settled by
agreement thai the United States
would make no objection To- the ar
rival of japanese merchants. schol-
airs. tourists or students IN the United
but japan engaged on her side
to prevent absolutely the emigration
Ia United States -ef-Japauese
or iaborers.
Oscar Straus, then IN RooseVelts
visited Japan. and to his tact
and diplomacy the happy settlement
Of all the questions in dispute was
due
Japan has neither forgotten nor
forgiven that naval denomination. She
knows exactly what il meant. II Con-
9rsss fails to provide for t&u batfle-
ships Japan will not he intimidated
the next time. She is making ready
for just such a future emergency.
The Democrats in Congress are the
most active allies OF Japan in prepar-
ing for American humiliation"
