130. Due to the attitude of the Government as set forth in the last paragraph of my 125, May 28, 4 p.m., there have been no popular anti-American outbreaks but this does not signify that there has been any lessening of deep-seated resentment and bitterness throughout Japan. The nation can be considered to be behind the Government in any protest they may make at Washington and it would [Page 403] be a mistake to interpret their protest as actuated by mainly domestic political urgency.
