“Personally I do not approve of asking the United States authorities to cancel the citizenship papers of Taraknath Dass [sic] on the grounds that he assisted East Indians in offering armed resistance to Canadian Government officers...While the action of Taraknath Dass [sic] may be very reprehensible, it seems to me that Hopkinson’s view in the matter is, to say the least, slightly exaggerated” (letter, Scott to Dohorty, 18 July 1914, LAC, Immigration Branch , RG76, Vol 601, File 879545, part 4)
