Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Hiram Johnson

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Hiram Johnson

Japan is making preparations to take part in the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, California, and is prepared to spend large sums to be well represented. It is important to have a Japanese presence, as European participation will be low due to the war. The Japanese do not want any anti-Japanese legislation passed by the California legislature and it would be exceedingly awkward if there was hostile legislation attempted or passed during the exposition. Theodore Roosevelt hopes Governor Johnson can “stave off any action.”

President Roosevelt thought that there were going to be three Commissioners to the Japanese Exposition when he wrote to Senator Beveridge about the possibility of appointing John C. Shaffer as a Commissioner. Secretary of State Elihu Root has already promised an appointment to someone else, and if there can only be one Commissioner, Roosevelt believes that Root’s choice should be the one.
