Addressed to Tokyo No. 337 June 13th.

Foreign Office telegram No. 463 to me,

You will have seen from paragraph 5 of Tientsin telegram 54 No. 214 to the Foreign Office that in opinion of His Majesty's

Consul General proposal regarding submission of question to a tribunal should be made in Tokyo.

If you have not already

acted on this suggestion and if you agree will you please do so now. There is no object in trying to obtain services of a neutral unless we know that Japanese agree generally to

proposal.

Repeated to Tientsin No. 170 and Foreign Office No. 535.
