500.A4a/75b

The Secretary of State to M. Sarraut, of the French Delegation³⁹

Washington, January 28, 1922.

My Dear M. Sarraut: I enclose revised draft⁴⁰ of proposed agreement supplementary to the Four-Power-Treaty. The changes are as follows:

There is substituted for “Sakhalin” the following: “Karafuto (or the southern portion of the Island of Sakhalin)”. This is the Japanese portion of the Island.

There is added a paragraph in the usual form relating to ratification and deposit.

I have been over these changes with Baron Shidehara, who has approved them.

If you approve, will you kindly furnish me with the French text, and I shall have an agreement printed for signature.

Sincerely yours,

Charles E. Hughes
