President Roosevelt asks Acting Secretary of State Bacon to refer to an enclosure, and says that he is of the opinion that Frank P. Sargent, Commissioner of Immigration, should be sent to Japan. There are still many Japanese laborers arriving in the United States who should not be. Roosevelt says that there seems to have been some difficulty with the Department of Commerce and Labor, and asks to know what the difficulty is so that he can fix it.
