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

Department’s May 31, 4 p.m.8

The British and French Governments have approved the resolutions and agreement adopted by the bankers at Paris on May 11 and 12 subject to reservations relating to the expression “exclusive diplomatic support” appearing in the preamble of the agreement. It is likely that a satisfactory formula can readily be found to meet this point. Please report promptly on the views of the Japanese Government concerning the resolutions and agreement above referred to.
