The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Japan (Forbes)
[Paraphrase]
Washington, December 12, 1931—3
p.m.
264. Your 259, December 12, 8 p.m. In my opinion, you should talk over this matter at once with Baron Shidehara unless you feel it is not advisable to take up the matter except with Shidehara’s successor.
