The Minister in China (Johnson) to the Acting Secretary of State
[Received July 5—1:45 a.m.]
573. Your 231, June 30, noon.85 Will the Department approve amendment last paragraph draft submitted by 562, June 28, 4 p.m., to read:
“On the above understanding and provided that the requirements of the act of registration are in practical force in consonance therewith I am prepared to recommend American newspapers and periodicals to register as requested.”
British Legation and ourselves prefer this wording to the former approved by the Department as it closes correspondence and avoids request for confirmation which is in our opinion unnecessary.
- Not printed; it approved action proposed in telegram No. 562, June 28, 4 p.m., supra.↩
