You may inform the Japanese Government that in the opinion of this Government it would seem advisable to ask the adherence of those Powers participating in or adhering to the Arms Embargo of 1919, with the exception of Russia, and also the Governments of Germany and Austria. The British Government has already intimated its views and this Government awaits the concurrence of the French, Italian and Japanese Governments before taking action.
