The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Japan (Wilson)
33. Your No. 34, April 11, 4 p.m.
Japanese Ambassador informed me yesterday that the Throne had approved proposed exchange of notes in a form substantially but not textually the same as indicated in my telegram 31, April 6, 3 p.m. Minister for Foreign Affairs will no doubt furnish actual texts upon your making request for them for confidential information. In that case telegraph to Peking for confidential information the text of the note which I am to address to Ambassador and confirmatory portion of his proposed reply.
Notes are to be signed and exchanged on the morning of Saturday, April 14, but public announcement, which is to take the form of a mere publication of texts without comment, is to be released for publication in the papers on Monday morning April 16, both here and in Japan.
Repeat to Peking for confidential information only as number 62.
