    DECLASSIRED

    I !eel I ehou1d addreu Your Majuty becauee ot the

    deep and tar- reaching e:aergency whlch appeare to be ln

    !orsatton ln relatione between our two countries. Con-

    vereatlone he.ve been 1n progreu between represent atl't·ee

    or our tV~:~ Governments !or 11any months tor the ;:~urpoee

    or preventing any extenelon of armed ccntllct ln the

    Pactflo area. lt hu been Ill)' sincere hope that thle

    would be achi eved end I am aura that it has equally been

    the elncere hope of Your Majeety.

    Develo~ente are now occu.rr1ng i n the Pacific area

    vhieh threaten to deprt"' each of ow- natl ona and hu.aan-

    1t1 ot the beneflelal influence or the long and unbroken

    peace whleh ha.e been aalnt dned bettteen our two cou.n-

    trtee !or almoet a oe~tur1. Those devel opllente are

    euggeetive of trt~gle poulbilltlea .

    In t hese clrcumst111neee, where continuance of pree-

    ent trends i mperll the now tenuoue threads whleh ltlll

    hold our t,...o countrlee t n ami cable relatlonehi p, I !eel

    ttult no poul b111t1 al".ou1d be owerlook~ which a t ght

  • ur-n to relieve the i~~~~:ediat.e ei t.uatlon and thue enable

    our tvo Governmente to vorlt out i n a cal~er at.etoephere a

    111ore permanent aolut i on. I am eure Your Majeety vUl

    ehare =Y feel1nge in tha regard.

    The history or both our countriu effor-Oe brilliant

    examplee ln which your and 1117 pred~ceeeore have, a t

    other tl•e• of great crleie, b7 'lo1.ta declei one and en-

    11ghte!":el! acta, arreated harmful trends and directed

    net1onal pol1cles along new and rarelg.~ted oour .. e - -

    thereby bringing bleulnge to the peoplee or both coun-

    trlee and to the peoplea or other natlona .

    With the roregoir.g coneideratione ln mind I propoae

    now the eoncluei on o r 11. tempore.ry ar~·ansea:ent wh.teh

    ~ould em·iaage o.eaeatlon or hoet1lltlee for a peri od or

    ni nety daya bet~oreen Japan and China and a.'l undertakir-1

    by each or the Go•ernmente moat coneerr.e~ in the Pacific

    area to refrai n rro::t &n1 move~tent or use or armed force

    ageinst any ot the ~ther paruee during the period or

    the temporary arrange:~~ent. If the Japanese Govern."llent

    i e favorably dlapoud to..,·ard concluelon ot such an ar-

    rangen:ent I ¥auld be gl a.d promptly to approach the other

    Ooverrur.ents concerned w1th a vlew to obtaining thtlr

    ataent and co~1 tcent..

    In

  • In order to g ive thoee Govern~~:ente an incentive to

    enter into thla arrange•ent, I further oropo .. that,

    tow•rd relieving exia ttng eppreher:slone, Japan reduce

    her armed torcee in French Indochina to the number

    whleh Japan had there on JulJ 26, 1941, and that Jepan

    agree not to send ne¥ contlngente or araed roreee or

    -terlel to that area during the ninety- day oerlod or

    the te.:.oorary arrangeaent.

    I r the co!U.l.tmente above en•leaged can be obtained ,

    I would undertake •• a t\lrt.her part or the general ar-

    rangement to eu~eet to the Go•ernaent o r Japan and to

    the Oo•ernoent or China that thoee Governaente enter

    into di rect negot1at1one l ooltlng to a peaceful eettle-

    ttent of the dift1eult1ee which e:x.lat between thelll . Such

    negotiations 111ight take place 1n the Ph1llpp1ne h lande

    ahould the Japanue and the Ch1neee Government• eo desire.

    In All aueh ee the Chineae OoverMent hae been cut

    orr troa lte orinoipal induetri&l ueae, I belteve it

    equitable that dur i ng the teapore.ry period or the pro-

    pond arrangement the United States ehould continue

    sending materhl 1114 to China . I me.y add that the

    amount of material whleh China 1111 able under present

    eondi ttone to obtain 1e emal.l in co:noa.rleon with the

    uount

  • -·-uount ot material that Japan would eave through d11con-

    t1nuanee of operat1one tor a ~rtod or three 110nthe.

    It 11 my thought that wh1le thls t.e3;>orery arrange-

    ment ,.;oul d be ln effect our two Goverlllllente could con-

    tlnue t heir convereat1one looking to a peaceful eettle-

    :nent 1n the e-.,Ure Peo1t'lc area. The klt!d or solu tion
