PRESIDENT ATTENDS JUBILEE EXECUTIVE DELIVERS APDRESS TO NOTED GATHERING OF METHODISTS. Washington, Jan. 1&-Introduced by Bishop Cranston as the "apostle of the square deal," President Roosevelt in an address tonight at the African Dia mond Jubilee mass meeting held In the Metropolitan Memorial church, which the late President McKinley at tended, declared that he would hot come before a Methodist gathering if he had not attempted to give them a square deal. "In addition to the square deal in our own country," he declared, "I want Methodists and others to help me give the square deal to Japan. I will see to it that in doing this our own citizenship is protected. "You know I am not a mere senti mentalist. I am not rn the least afraid of invoking the 'big stick' if it is necessary, but I should be ashamed to invoke it unless it was necessary. And I want to see us, while insisting on justice being done us, equally careful to do justice to others. The national government, by agreement with the Japanese government and through the hearty and spontaneous initiative of the Japanese government, has been able to achieve a completely satisfactory solution of all possible difficulties, of all possible questions that could be at issue between our people and the Japanese people. It is only the federal government that can with wisdom and propriety deal with these questions; and I ask all good Americans to see to it that un wise men, foolish men, do not jeopard ize, to their own harm and to the harm of the locality, the arrangement that is now working out so satisfac torily to the governments of the United States and Japan."
