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

590. My 588, September 9, 10 p.m. Cadogan has just informed me that the instructions to Tokyo were sent without change this afternoon. They had been delayed because the Foreign Secretary had found when he reached Paris yesterday afternoon that the French were proceeding along a somewhat different line. After communicating with London the Foreign Secretary authorized the despatch of the British instructions as they stood.
