[Received November 28—6:09 a.m.]
1862. A note dated November 26 has been received from the Foreign Office in which it is stated that the Japanese Government has decided to accord treatment to American nationals leaving Japan on the basis of the Japanese proposals reported in my 1672, October 22, 5 p.m., and the American reply based on the Department’s 711, November 2, 2 a.m., and to waive export permits for the baggage and household effects of bearers of American diplomatic passports. The expression “Japanese nationals having diplomatic status” is interpreted by the Japanese Government to mean “Japanese nationals carrying diplomatic passports.”
