President Sends Telegram on Japanese Exclusion Policy
The president sent a long telegram to Speaker P A Stanton of the California assembly outlining federal strategy on Japanese exclusion. He argues for efficiency with minimal friction while opposing anti Japanese action as harmful and in violation of treaty obligations. The message, after talks with Senator Flint and Representatives Kahn and Lane, stresses mutual respect and the aim of free, orderly movement between the U S and Japan.
