President Wilson to the Counselor for the Department of State (Polk)

Washington, 28 January, 1918 .

My Dear Mr. Counselor: Thank you for the enclosed.36 I dare say that for the present we may let this matter stand as it does; but I hope that we shall soon have new material for judgment in the shape of further information from our Ambassador at Tokyo. I do not think that it will be safe or wise to leave the Japanese government in any doubt as to the impression such an attitude on their part makes on us.

Faithfully Yours,

W. W.
