Theodore Roosevelt expresses his pleasure at hearing from Ambassador Kogoro and his happiness about the effects of the treaty. Roosevelt believes the positive outcome of the treaty is likely to last as long as the Japanese government prevents a large-scale emigration of working-class Japanese to the United States. Working-class Americans, Roosevelt believes, would object to this just as working-class Japanese would object to a similar emigration of working-class Americans to their country. Roosevelt hopes that the United States and Japan will continue to cooperate in the future, believing such cooperation is of the “utmost consequence” to the whole world.
