150. Today I made suggestion, as on my own initiative, to the Minister for Foreign Affairs with regard to an invitation to the Alden to visit open and unopened ports in the Pacific islands under Japanese mandate.
Marked interest was shown by the Minister in the situation as I described it, but he professed not to know anything at all about the subject. He told me that he would see what there was that could be done and that he would try to give me, before July 20, the results of his inquiries.
