The Chargé in Japan (Dooman) to the Secretary of State
[Received June 27—11 a.m.]
298. 1. I orally informed Yoshizawa yesterday of the substance of the Department’s 170, June 23, 5 p.m. and asked that he communicate it to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. He later gave me a message from the Foreign Minister to the effect that the Japanese Government sincerely appreciated withholding of publication of notes and is seeking further effective measures to prevent bombing of American properties.
2. Yoshizawa supplemented this with the information that a conference of naval and military staff officers and a representative of the Foreign Office was held in Shanghai on June 25 for this purpose.
Repeated to Chungking, Peiping.
