The Ambassador in China (Johnson) to the Secretary of State

346. Department’s 115, July 13, 2 p.m.29 and my 247, July 16, 6 p.m. from Peiping. In a conversation which I had with British and French Ambassadors yesterday it appeared that communication made to French Foreign Office by Japanese Ambassador in Paris was not made to British Foreign Office by Japanese Ambassador there. Can Department inform me whether Japanese Ambassador in Washington gave any assurances regarding South China or made any statement as to Japanese intentions in regard to North China?
