[Substance]
Washington, February
4, 1941—11 p.m.
80. Reference is made to your No. 126 of January 27, 7 p.m., final sentence in paragraph No. 1. Assuming that you lack an official text, the Department would be interested in a close comparison by the Embassy of available press reports in order to determine whether Minister Matsuoka indicated that the attackers at Marco Polo Bridge were the Japanese.
