Atlantic and had consequently lessened tension in the Pacific. En Impression here continued of a Japanese-American modus vivendi being reached or at least the situation not becoming worse. It is likely that the Japanese Ambassador's return to London is linked with the outcome of Japanese-American discussions in Washington.
Japanese authoritative quarters told me that the above naval report is most probably about right and may be a favourable indication. The same quarters said, "We naturally hope good results in the Japsnese-American discussions, but Such an outcome is by no means certain and we should avoid wishful thinking." tion at 11 Government shipyards, ok: which six were located on the:
