The Chargé in Japan (Wilson) to the Secretary of State
[Received April 11—9:38 a.m.]
34. Your 31, April 6, 3 p.m. Count Uchida summoned me today to inform me that the final draft of the notes to be exchanged regarding the cancellation of the Lansing-Ishii agreement had been approved by the Privy Council this morning and sent to the Throne. He anticipated that the Prince Regent would give his approval before sailing for Formosa tomorrow.
[Page 457]Count Uchida stated consultation of Privy Council was necessary since the original Lansing-Ishii agreement had been submitted to that body. As soon as Prince Regent’s approval is obtained Hanihara will be instructed to exchange documents with you.
Count Uchida is most appreciative of Department’s consideration shown in discussions concerning the publication of the cancellation.
