The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Great Britain (Davis)

779. Your 1075, July 16, 5 p.m.

Tokyo telegraphs that it has communicated to the Japanese Government this Government’s approval of the Lamont–Kajiwara [Page 559] exchange of letters. Japanese Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs informed Embassy that the Japanese Government’s formal approval of those notes has been communicated to the Japanese Group but has not been made public. Thus save for the failure of the Japanese Government to communicate to the other interested Governments its acceptance of the Lamont–Kajiwara letters it now appears that all four Governments have accepted those letters as well as the formula defining amount of diplomatic support to be given consortium.

Repeat to Paris as Number 1290.
