The Ambassador in Japan, (Morris) to the Secretary of State

Department’s November 12, 5 p.m. Following reply today received from Foreign Office.

“I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency’s note of the 15th ultimo,56 relative to the duties of the Allied forces in Siberia.

I beg leave to state that it is a cause for profound gratification to the Imperial Government as, no doubt, also to that of the United States, not only in the interest of the future relations of the two Powers, but also in that of their common friend Russia, that the present question has reached an amicable solution as the result of mutual good understanding brought about by a frank and straightforward exchange of views.

Further in view of the great interest, which the Governments of Great Britain, France, Italy and China will unquestionably take in the satisfactory settlement of the present question, I venture to think it desirable that the Government of the United States cause a copy of the aforementioned note of Your Excellency to be sent to each of the four governments and also to the Russian Ambassador at Washington.

Trusting that Your Excellency will be so kind as to take the trouble to advise your government in the above sense”. Signed Uchida.

Morris
