again today in exercising what
amounted to censorship over speech
making in Congress which might COM
plicate the situation growing out pf

of Mississippi, intended again to dis
cuss the japanese situation and bear

flammatory utterances several weeks
ago on the same subject, the Pres.-
dent sent for the Congressman aud
asked him to detail what he proposed
to cay He was requested 70 climin.
ate any portion Of his speech which
might tend to infame or arouse any
feeling by Japan.
IN his previous speech Sisson de-
clared that he would rather see war
with Japan that surrender Of any
States rights.
Today the Mississippi Representa-
tive assured the President that he had
not intended to commit any diplomatic
breach and in his speech Friday pro-
posed to discuss merely the legal
phases Of alien land-ownership. He
told the President that instead of taxi
ing any position against Japan his
proposed remarks would be highly
complimentary to that nation
II was reported that the Presidents
warning to Sisson would result in "A
"long down" of the latters remarks.
The Mississippi Congressman is noted
as one Of the most fiery orators in the
