343. Legation’s October 11, 7 p.m. British Legation states that its instructions permit it to join American Legation in nearly identic notes to Japanese Minister and Chinese Foreign Office stating that it could no longer acquiesce in application of Japanese passport regulations. Am advised French Legation does not expect its instructions will permit it to participate. Am I authorized to take similar action?
