California, If It lnnkrla no n school policy highly offensive to the Japanee government, will do so trusting to tho aid of the federal government In case Japan decides ;o make open warfare. Now Roosevelt demands, as a right, tho power to Interfere and prevent California Involving the whole country In war over a matter of public policy perhaps In conflict with Uis better Judgment of the people of the failed States. There is some merit In thla contention and the Prealdent will be able to make a strong argument In favor of hla position, but he will be defeated In his efforts, for the South i solidly arrayed against any invasion of state riahts and many Northern states will opposn any upsetting of established national policy.
