118. Your 255, July 26, 10 p.m.
In order to obviate misunderstandings likely to arise through speculations as to Japan’s attitude, I am today giving to the Press a statement concerning the acceptance by all interested Powers of the proposals for the Conference, and embodying in that statement the text of your memorandum of the 23rd and the Japanese memorandum of July 26.
Department understands that Japanese Ambassador is telegraphing his Foreign Office as to the desirability of immediate publication here and suggesting that the texts be published in Japan without delay.
