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.
