EXCELLENCY:

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
Washington, April 14, 1923.

I have the honor to communicate to Your Excellency my understanding of the views developed by the discussions which I have recently had with your Embassy in reference to the status of the Lansing-Ishii Exchange of Notes of November 2, 1917.1

I shall be glad to have your confirmation of the accord thus reached.
