Governor Gillett telegrams President Roosevelt that the bill in the California Legislature treats all aliens alike in regards to real property. He does not see how it would be objectionable to Japan or any other nation. In a handwritten response below the telegram, President Roosevelt informs Gillett that Secretary of State Elihu Root will send word concerning the real property rights of aliens. Roosevelt himself will write concerning the other bills.
