Officials here gave every evi-
dence today OF being satisfied with
the Japanese acceptance received
yesterday, although the Toxic
government in consenting to the
proposed preliminary tad basic
discussion of Far Eastern prob

which concern particular power s
or which can be regarded as closed
incidents be omitted from the

here. however, not as a condition
to acceptance, but as forecast of
the attitude to be taken by Japan
