In President Roosevelt's memorable
message to congress December 3, 1906,
he advocated the naturalization of Jap
anese and made dire threats against
the people of San Francisco, and in
cidentally the people of California,
should they refuse to obey his COM
mand that Japanese be permitted to
attend the public schools with white
children of tender years.
We quote his exact language:
II recommend to the congress that
for the naturalization of Japanese who
come here intending to become Amer
lean citizens. Even as the
law now is, something can be done by
the federal government toward this
end, and in the matter now before me,
affecting the Japanese, everything that
is in my power to do will be done,
and all the forces military and civil
of the United states which l may law
fully employ will be so employed"
The matter before him, remember,
was the. refusal Of the San Francisco
board of education to permit Japanese
TO attend the public schools with white
children, although separate schools
had been provided for them, just as
the District of Columbia provides sep
arate schools for negroes.
When President Roosevelt sent his
m Message to congress, he knew well
that the sovereign people of the state
of California would resent it, although
he did not know how strong that re-
sentiment would be, but if all the peo-
pie of this great commonwealth learn
fully all the facts of this matter. Mr..
Roosevelt will find on November the
answer in good emphatic words:
