295. My telegram No. 287, April 16, 5 p.m.
- 1.
- At a meeting of the diplomatic body today by which it was agreed that the Senior Minister should address to the Minister for Foreign Affairs at Nanking on April 26 a note declaring on behalf of the participating governments the cancellation of the arms embargo as of that date, in terms as indicated in the second paragraph of my telegram number 94, February 8, 4 p.m., the fact of such cancellation is to be announced to the press at noon of that day.
- 2.
- The representatives of the powers participating in the corollary agreement as to naval assistance adopted a resolution (in substantially the terms set forth in my telegram cited above) terminating that agreement as from today’s date. As the making of this agreement was never publicly announced, no publicity in regard to the present action seems necessary.
MacMurray
