SIZZLING S|SSON
TO DELIVER SPEECH
JUST AS HE WROTE 1T, REGARD
LES OF PRESIDENTIAL MUZ-
zLE OR JAPAN.

Washington. May 22-Realizing the
delcacy OF the situation evolved by
the action OF the California legis-
lature in enacting the anti-alien land
law and fearful of the effect of any
additional strains upon the relations
between the United States and Japan
that might be imposed by injudicious
utterance in congress at this time,
President Wilson today invited Rep
resentatiya Thomas t. Sisson 20 the
white house for a heart to heart
talk with reference to the speech
which Mr.. Sisson announced in the
house on yesterday he was preparing
to deliver next Frlnay.
Although the president employed
very diplomatic language in discuss
ing with Mr. Sisson the latter's
forthcoming speech anent the anti
alien land law and in its direct bear
ing upon Japan, there is a feeling
that he bordered very close to seek
ing to place an embargo upon con
gressiOnal oratory. OF course, Pres
ident Wilson did not intend that his

words of advice and admonition
should be so construed, but that CON
struction will be given them by the
more sensitively alert members Of
the house. Those who do not sub
scribe TO that construction are say
ing that the presidents conference
with Mr.. Sisson was in harmony with
the administrations recent efforts ex
erted through the secretary of state
in treating with the California leg
islature and Governor Johnson for
the avoidance of complicating legisla'
tive action.
eisson Will Speak Regardless.
In language chardcteristcally VIII
sonian the president practically warn
ed Mr.. Sisson that he might do his
country great damage by falling to
remember that the Japanese popu-
lace can not be expected to know

member that what senator or a
representative says is merely his own
view OF the matter, carrying no Off
cial weight, although it may later be
crystallzed into statute law.
But the speech that is going to be
made on Friday will not be changed
by reason of anything President VIII
son said to Mr.. Sisson The latter
called the attention of the president
to what is the fact, namely, that
most of the newspaper comment
which caused the greatest stir is

founded on Sisson's record with re-
gard 10 increasing the navy and the
assumption that he fayors war. He
has always opposed increasing the
navy. That, taken in connection
with the fact that he said he would
rather fight than admit that Japan
has any right to say what kind Of
laws a state shall not enact, gave
his utterances a prominence in the
country that would not have been
attached to a plain argument on the
law propositions involved.
Wilson's Position Delicate. -.
II am going to deliver the speech
/ wrote before going 10 the white
house" said Mr.. Sisson. Il told the
president I had not the faintest
thought OF discussing anything per-
tanning to the diplomatic business Of
the government. My only object is
tc further discuss the legal points
involved in the proposition that has
been before the public by reason Of
Japan's representations.
While in theory the president did
not endeayor to put a gag in the
mouth OF the Miississippian, it is gen
orally taken here as a fact that he
hoped to persuade him TO forego his
speech altogether.
The president disclaimed any ic-
tention or desire TO censor the
speech OF any member of congress,
putting his disclaimer in almost those
words, but he hoped Mr. Sisson would
be careful. In other words, he hoped
The Mississippian would not throw a
match into the powder while l}ht-
Ing the lamp TO throw light upon the
law questions which do not bother
the Japanese at all They don't care
a hoot about the constitution of the
United States or the law questions
that grow out of the dual sovereign
ties and the dual allegiances OF
American citizens. President Wilson
knows that fact He also knows tnat
he has no right to even question
about what he says or
says he is going to say, without
being in danger of abridging the
privileges of member, even as
Banker Glover did when he slapped
the face of Representative Sims OF
Tennessee. But he hoped for the
sake of good relations between the
two nations that Mr.. Sisson would oeI
extremely careful, if he could not
afford to cut out his talk altogether
