AtJSie meeting of the Cabinet to
day> the : Japanese question was
discussed at length,: The Presi
dent told his advisers that he had
asked the Sari Francisco school
authorities to /come to Washing
ton in the interest of peace and in
the hope; that the school question
might be removed from; contrp- 1
veriy i without • waiting f or . a de
cision by the . courb. With the
Japanese reassured as to : the treat
ment of her school children: on an
equality with those of other coun
tries residing in the United States,
the President hoped that the way would
be opened to a EeXtlement of other ques
\u25ba tionii by treaty or otherwise: ..
Wprd was received from'; Sag Franr
ciscc? -that, the entire school board would
leave for Washington on Sunday, but
that ats. attitude on the segregation of
Orientals was unyielding. " ; . .
The statement by the President to
the California : delegation = that . the
•Ameirican-Japan?se : situation, was more
*erious : than was generally imagined,
«nd the impression derived from his
talk; that. Japan was apparently, not
\u25a0 -anxious to reach a Settlement of pend^
ing fluestions, /aroused a feeling of ap
prehension among public :men. today.
The. President, it was also iearned. was
being actuated by. grave reasons that
had not 3>.een made public. \u25a0 , . : '
;"\u25a0•; feeling ivr exsifUed
This feeling was intensified by the
myst^erj' wJth which the admlnistratioa
sought to envelop its plans, and by the
readiness with which the CaHfornians
agreed t td recede Upon the school ques
tion'!in the face of the. overwhelming
sentiment of their own State. Politi
cians at the capital reasoned that pow
erful-arguments' must have' been em
ployed by' the President to induce, the!
CaHfornians' to .run the; risk of political
suicide by going; contrary to the senti
ments of their constituents."
Members of the California delegation
were >: embarrassed. today by;the disclos
ure of the essential features of their
conference with .the President, after
they had pledged themselves to remain
silent. They -also received word from
home that ww not comforting.
One of the -California delegation ad
mitted today that* the offhand adjust:
ment'- of difficulties with Japan, as
skillfully outlined by Secretary Root in
the statement made public Wednesday
night.- was not p/omlsing. Sober second
thought seemed to have caused the
'. Calif ernians to realize that they were
aske'a to surrender their position on
the school question for the hope of ob
taining something that might never
materialize, namely, the exclusion of
Japanese laborers.

that something 'more than two dozen
