The Secretary of State to the Japanese Ambassador (Shidehara)
Washington, September 15,
1920.
Excellency: I have the honor to inform you that, at the instance of the French Government, and owing to the fact that the French delegation, as well as the English delegation, will not arrive at Washington in time for the Preliminary Conference on Communications scheduled for September fifteen, it has been found necessary to postpone the opening of this Conference until October eight.
Accept [etc.]
