The Minister of Foreign Affairs re- viewed the reply of the Allies to Ger- many's pena proposals and expressed the fullest agreement of the Japanese Government with it. He said that some criticism had been directed against the Government because the Allies' reply did not specially include Japan's share, but he pointed out that the Allies' Note gave no details. In order to avoid misun derstanding on this point the Govern- ment has taken steps to safeguards the rights of Japan, and I am happy to be able to assure you that a very satis- factory understanding on this point exists between the Allies."
