Rudolph Forster sends a copy of a cable sent from Tokyo by Secretary of War William H. Taft to Secretary of State Elihu Root regarding an “agreed memorandum of conversation” between the prime minister of Japan and Taft regarding the Philippines Islands, Korea, and maintaining peace in the Far East. The final paragraph informs Root and President Roosevelt of an impending visit of two Chinese government officials as a test of the United States government’s intention to ameliorate conditions for Chinese entering the country.
