belief that it may be found to serve as

to offer will receive the immediate and
friendly consideration of the Japanese

for you to say much in elucidation of
the separate items of the project as
they are very largely self-explanatory;
but you might point out that the pro-

the principles already recognized by the
two Governments, or of conditions en-
bodied in the engagements which the
project is designed to supplant.
The foregoing instruction is sent to
you in anticipation that the answer to
the Note Verbale presented by you

further instructions which will be given
after you have communicated to me
