Misrepresented.—It is not safe to depend on newspaper scare-heads. For instance, the San Francisco Examiner of December 5 places over the President's message in big 24-point type, running across the entire page, these words: "President Will Use Army and Navy to Enforce Naturalization of the Japs."
Then follows the President's words, but he says nothing of the kind; yet there are many who will not read beyond the head-lines. What the President does do is to "recommend" the naturalization of the Japanese, and he asks for laws to enforce for all peoples treaty rights, even to the employment of the army or navy if necessary. It is poor policy thus to fan discontent and hatred.
