Thomas Malcolm Harvey Kincaid-Smith, a member of the British House of Commons, tells John J. McCook that in England the matter concerning Japanese immigration is considered settled thanks to President Roosevelt’s actions. Kincaid-Smith believes the issue will not remain settled, but the concern in England is small, as the problem is largely affecting the American Pacific Coast.
