"While I am ttuable to transmit the information requested, I do, how ever, take, this opportunity to say most emphatically that there were no concealed understandings and no se cret exchanges of notes and there1 are no commitments with the excep tions as appear in the four power treaty itself and the supplementary agreement which are now In tho hands of the senate."
