Nations.

Our tri.de interests in Japan, however,
are rot suffering and for this and other
reasons this government did not see its
way clear to discuss the questions in
volved bef ire the expiration of our
treaty in 19 II.

of the treaty, Japan extends to the
United States all the conventional
rates which it has granted tj Great

extended to Japan.
