John R. Carter updates President Roosevelt on various situations in England, namely, the progress of Mackenzie King in meeting with members of the government and promoting Roosevelt’s policies in regard to Japan. He is doing well, and has met with Edward Grey and leading members of the cabinet. Grey has previously been “sanguine” about Japan, but Carter hopes that King has enlightened him about the issue of Japanese immigration. A new Prime Minister will be installed around Easter, and it will probably be H. H. Asquith.
