The Ambassador in Japan (Grew) to the Secretary of State

Tokyo, November 2, 1934—3 p.m.
[Received November 2—4:23 a.m.]

242. Department’s 149, August 29, 5 p.m. The spokesman of the Foreign Office informed a member of my staff last evening that the Foreign Office reply to our second representations in regard to the oil monopoly in Manchuria is practically finished and will be delivered in a day or two. I therefore suggest awaiting this communication before the Department decides on further action.
