President Taft asks Theodore Roosevelt for a statement of his views on the Japanese question. Secretary of State Philander C. Knox believes he has a solution regarding the treaty and has proposed it to Senator Elihu Root. He recently met with Governor-elect of California Hiram Johnson and believes he is content with a practical solution. Taft feels Congress would be headed in the right direction if it passed the Tariff Commission bill. The Senate passing Senator Albert Baird Cummins’ resolution would prove even more advantageous to exposing the Democrats’ wrong view to the country.
