Before signing the Minutes Mr. Simon stated that a difficulty had arisen with regard to the correct interpretation to be placed on Clause 16 which the Russian and Japanese Governments considered might be held to imply the granting of a monopoly or quasi monopoly to the signatories of the Currency Loan Agreement. In order to obviate such a difficulty, should it arise, the Groups would be prepared to agree to any reasonable interpretation which Russia and/or Japan might suggest provided it did not involve or imply the recognition of a preferential position in Manchuria to either or both of these Governments.
