Roosevelt Seeks Progress in Japanese Situation Conference
All American forces faced shifting tensions as President Roosevelt conferred with top military and foreign affairs advisers about the Japanese question in a secret two hour meeting. The discussion also touched Russia, with secrecy urged for all attendees.

In San Francisco marine circles, ships bound for Oriental waters were ordered to return to Honolulu, with officials giving no further comment.
