The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Japan (Grew)
59. In view of a press report emanating from Tokyo that you had made new representations to the Japanese Government with regard to currency measures taken in north China, the Acting Secretary, at the press conference on March 13, referred the correspondents to our note of October 619 in which the issues were made clear and stated that you had reiterated the position established in that note, emphasizing the fact that this Government believes the currency measures in question are not in accord with the treaty rights of the United States and that they operate to discriminate against American trade interests in north China in favor of Japanese trade interests.
