Memorandum by the Secretary of State

[Washington,] September 23, 1931.

I sent for the Japanese Ambassador and told him that I had received from the Council of the League of Nations, through the American Minister, a copy of the resolution which the Council had adopted in regard to Japan and China yesterday.58 I told him that I was sending a reply to this resolution and I handed him a copy of it in the form annexed.59 I said I had just sent it to Geneva and he then read it carefully and thanked me for giving him such prompt notice of it.
