Assistant Secretary of State Wilson sends three memoranda to Acting Secretary of State Robert Bacon. In the first, Wilson gives a brief curriculum vitae of Japanese diplomat Admiral Gonnohyōe Yamamoto, indicating he is considered an “elder statesman” in Japan and likely to be the next prime minister. In the second memorandum, Wilson describes Japanese public opinion and press coverage of the immigration situation in the United States, particularly in San Francisco. The third memorandum describes complaints sent by the Chambers of Commerce of Japan to the “principal” Chambers of Commerce of the United States regarding the treatment of Japanese immigrants.
