We have as much to learn from .apan as Japan has to learn from us. and no nation is fit to teach unless it is willing to learn. * * * It is only a very small body of our citizens that act badly. Where the Federal Government has power it will deal summarily with any such. Where the several States have power I earnestly ask that they also deal wisely and promptly with such conduct. or else this small body of wrongdoers may bring shame upon the great mass of their innocent and rightthinking fellowsthat is. upon our nation as a whole. * * I recommend to the Congress that an act be passed specifically providing for the naturalization of Japanese who come here intending to become American citizens. One of the great embarrassments attending the performance of our international obligations is the fact that the statutes of the United States are entirely inadequate. They fail to give the National Government sufficiently ample Power. through United States courts and by the use of the Army and Navy. to protect aliens in the rights secured to them under solemn treaties which are the law of the land.
