i SACRAMENTO. Oal.. February l.-Gov.
i Gillett has made public the text of a letter
received from President Roosevelt
with regard to anti-Japaneso legislation
now pending in the California legislature.
The President quotes from a letter from
former Secretary of State Root to Gov.
Gillett and from a memorandum, pointing
out that Mr. Root saw no objection to a
law which treated all aliens alike, but
that to avoid conflict with the Constitution
such statute should contain an
expressed provision excepting from its
operation any rights secured by treaty
between the United States and foreign
nitions. Mr. Roosevelt says that this
I view has his cordial indorsement,
j President Roosevelt's letter follows:
"The White House.

or supposed to relate, to Japanese.
" 'I have been able only to make a very
cursory examlnat on of these bills, and
can only give you first impressions. It is
quite possible that upon careful consideration
other Ideas might present themselves.
" 'Senate bill 71. entitled an act to prohibit
alien ownership cf lands in the sta e
of California Tnis apears to apply to
aliens generally, and in that view Is free
from sp viae objection except this: The
act provides that aliens shall have such
rights as ro personal property as are accorded

such alien belongo or by treaties with
the United States, except as the same be
affected by the provisions of this act or

? Treaty the Supreme Law.
1" 'This inverts the order of authority.
It Is settled beyond any possibility of
doubt, or question, by repeated decisions
of the Supreme Court of the United States
that a treaty made in pursuance of the
Constitution is controlling as against inY
consistent provisions of either the statutes
or the constitution of any state. Thai
4* is the expressed provision of the Consti fr
tution of the United States under which
?r the state of California was admitted to
V the Union.

fectly wel. settled tha. the making o. such

ing in the state of California such rights

T except as they may be affected by the

essarily true. The proper statement
.? would be that their rights are preX
scribed and liimted in the act. ex3.
