The Chargé in Japan (Neville) to the Secretary of State

110. Department’s instruction 587 [588], August 1st, I have had conference with the Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs. He informs me that the committee has not yet reached a discussion of the lumber tariff and asked me for a formal note setting forth the American position. I shall prepare and send such note using Department’s instruction as a basis and refer to my conversation with Minister for Foreign Affairs of August 30th.
