The Ambassador in Great Britain (Davis) to the Secretary of State

1075. Your 742, July 15, noon. Foreign Office did not expect us to communicate on behalf of British but to be the first Government to announce its approval which British would immediately follow by announcement on its own behalf. No objection whatever to our mentioning that we are aware that British Government concurs. British Embassy, Tokyo, already appropriately instructed.
