Secretary Root's Speech
Washington, D. C, April 22. Sec
retary Hoot, In his speech before tho
.American International Law Society,
declared that there was no cause of
war with Japan because of tho ac
tion of San Francisco regarding the
Japanese In the schools. Secretary
Root went Into the subject thorough-
fly and took up the details of tho
streaty with Japan and the position
lof San Francisco.
. In conclusion Mr. Root said:
"In the distribution of powers un-
tder our composite system of govern
ment the people of Snn Francisco
Ihnd three sets of Interests committed
Etc- three dlfflerent sets of officers
I'thclr special Interest as citizens of
fthe principal, city and commercial
jhort of the Pacific coast, represented
"by the city government of San Fran-
Jclsco; their Interest In common with
Ball the people of the state of Call-
Kfornla represented by the governor
Fund legislature at Sacramento; and
Ithelr Interests In common with all
Ithe people of tho United States rep
resented by the national government
sat Washington. Each one of these
Hhree different governmental agen-
Ecles had authority to do certain
sHhlncs relating to tho treatment of
Japanese residents in San Francisco.
P-These three Interests could not be
Ereally In conflict; for the best Inter
Jest of the whole country Is alwnys
fthe true Interest of every state and
city and the protection of the Inter
ests of every locality In the country
,1s always the true Interest of the na
tion. There was, however, a sup-
'posed or apparent clashing of Inter
ests, and, to do away with this, con
ference, communication, comparison
of views, explanation of policy 'and
purpose were necessary.. Many
! thoughtless and some mischievous
niersons have spoken and written re-
I'garding these conferences and com-
munications as If they were the par
leying and compromise of enemies.
JOn the contrary, they were an exam
rple of the way In which the public
llnislness ought always to be con
ducted; so that the different officers
'respectively charged with the per
formance of duties affecting the same
subiect matter may work together In
furtherance of the same public policy
'and with a common purpose for the
good of the whole country and every
part of the country. Such a concert
of action with such a purpose was
established by the conferences and
communications between the national
authorities of California and San
Francisco which followed the passage
.of the board of education resolution.
"There was one great and serious
question underlying tho whole sub-
jject which made all questions of con
Istruction and of scope and of effect

of the treaty Itself all questions as
to whether the claims of Japan were
well founded or not; nil questions
as to whether the resolution of tho
school board was valid or not seem
temporary and comparatively unim
portant. It was not a question of
war with Japan. All the foolish talk
about war was purely sentatlonal
and Imaginative. There was never
even friction between the two gov
ernments. The question was, What
state of feeling would be created be
tween the great body of the people
of the United States and the great
body of the people of Japan as a re
sult of the treatment given to the
Japanese In this country?
"What was to be the effect upon
that proud, sensitive, highly civilized
people across the Pacific, of the dis
courtesy, insult, Imputations of In
feriority and abuse aimed at them
In the columns of the American news
papers and from the platforms of
American public meetings? What
would be the effect upon our own
people of the responses that natural
resentment for such treatment would
elicit from the Japanese?
"The first article of the first treaty
Japan over made with a western
power provided:
" 'There shall be a perfect, perma
nent and universal peace and a sin
cere and cordial amity between the
United States of America on the one
pnrt, and the empire of Japan on the
other part, and between their people
respectively, without exception of
persons or places.'
"Under that treaty, which bore the
signature of Matthew Calbralth
Perry, we Introduced Japan to the
world of western civilization. We
had always been proud of her won
derful development proud of the
genius of the race that in a single
generation adapted an ancient feudal
system of the far east to the most
advanced standards of modern Eur
ope and America. The friendship
between the two nations had been
peculiar and close. Was the declara
tion of that treaty to be set aside?
At Kurlhama, In Japan, stands a
monument to Commodore Perry,
raised by tho Japanese In grateful
appreciation, upon the site where he
landed and opened negottanions for
the treaty. Was that monument
henceforth to represent dislike and
resentment? Were the two peoples
to face each other across the Pacific
In future years with angry and re
sentful feelings. All this was In
evitable If the process which seemed
to hove begun was to continue, and
the government of the United States
looked with the greatest solicitude
upon the possibility that the process
might continue.
"It is hard for democracy to learn
the responsibilities of Its power; but
the people now, not governments,
make friendship or dislike, sympathy
or discord, peace or war, between na
tions. In this modern day, through
the columns of the myriad press and
messages flashing over countless
wires, multitude calls to multitude
across boundaries and oceans in
courtesy or Insult, In amity or In de
fiance. Foreign officers and ambas
sadors and ministers no longer keep
or break the peace, but the conduct
of each people toward every other.
The people who permit themselves to
treat the people of other countries
with discourtesy and Insult are sure
ly sowing the wind to reap tho whirl
wind, for a world of sullen and re
vengeful hatred can never be a world
of peace. Against such a feeling
treaties are waste paper, and dlplo-'
mocy the empty routine of Idle form.
The great question which over
shadowed all discussion of the treaty
of 1894 was the question: Are the
people of the United States about to
break friendship with the people of
Japan? That question, I believe, has
been happily answered In the negative."
