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

[Paraphrase]

485. Ambassador Bancroft telegraphed today that our position has been made clear to Japanese Foreign Minister, that latter has not sent any communication on subject since the conversation on which Department’s no. 483, December 24, was based, nor has he made any communication to Great Britain in the matter.

It also appears that the Japanese Government raises no question as to equity of our claims, but that it is still examining the legal situation.

Repeat to Logan as Department’s L–178.
