In the evening the Japanese Ambassador called at my apartment in connection with another matter and I took the occasion to emphasize again what I had previously said. The Ambassador said that he had already reported to his Government what I had said and that he had recommended that the Japanese Government purchase oil in this country in accordance with the suggestion brought out in our earlier conversation.
