President urges delay on California anti Japanese bills
Former San Francisco mayor James Phelan met with President Roosevelt who said he would block Japanese immigration and urged that California laws apply to all foreigners. Phelan said the legislature would postpone action until the next regular session two years away to measure immigration trends. Sacramento observers expect the anti Japanese measures unlikely to pass with Governor Gillette not signing and a Senate unlikely to approve.
