The Chargé in Japan (Neville) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 9—7:42 a.m.]
221. Embassy’s 189, August 24, 4 p.m. and despatch 994, October 3.72 I was told at the Foreign Office today that in the past few days there had been numerous resolutions presented to the Government by various ultrapatriotic societies urging strong action in the Arizona case; that as each delegation appeared efforts were made to minimize the situation, but there was a possibility that, if they were to continue they might be used for domestic political purposes.
Apparently these delegations are [causing?] the Government, especially the Foreign Office, considerable annoyance. The Embassy has not been molested, possibly through the efforts of the authorities.
