American Embassy,
Tokyo , June 9, 1917, noon .

My telegram June 8, 10 p.m. The Press today shows general irritation at the communication made by Reinsch to China which is viewed as interference in the latter’s internal politics and a further indication of objectionable activity of the Legation at Peking. The Foreign Office assumed that our proposal contemplated joint as well as identic representation.
