Geneva, September 22, 1938—11 a.m.
[Received September 22—9:10 a.m.]

223. My telegram No. 211, September 19, 7 p.m. The Secretary-General this morning received a telegram from the Japanese Foreign Minister63 stating that in the view of the Japanese Government the measures envisaged by the Council would not serve to bring about a just settlement and that therefore the Japanese Government would be unable to accept the invitation addressed to it by the Council.
