Tokio Likes Wilson's Action.

New York Times 100 years ago today, April 26, 1913:
But Firebrand Newspaper Points to Japanese Fleet as "No Toy."
    TOKIO, April 2o.— General satisfaction is expressed here over the decision of President Wilson to send Secretary Bryan to Sacramento to consult the legislators there on the proposed alien land bills.
    Most of the newspapers adopt a more tranquil tone to-day, but the widely circulated Osaka Mainichi, an independent newspaper, points to the Japanese fleet as no toy, and says that if necessary, or if forced by discriminatory legislation, it is capable of vindicating the national honor.
