The Chargé in the United Kingdom (Johnson) to the Secretary of State

London, December 14, 1937—6 p.m.
[Received December 14—2:35 p.m.]

775. Viscount Ishii, special Japanese envoy now in London on a propaganda mission, has had conversations with the Prime Minister²⁹ and Mr. Eden. I was confidentially informed in this connection by the Foreign Office that, from Ishii’s point of view, his mission here could be considered a failure and that he had received some very plain speaking from the Prime Minister.

Johnson

29. Neville Chamberlain.
