I TOGETHER WITH DELEGATE YU MET ASIAN AFFAIRS DIRECTOR ISEKI AT KAYUKAIKAN AT 11 A.M. TODAY AT THE LATTER'S REQUEST. AT THIS MEETING, ISEKI ASKED WHETHER I RECIEVED GOVERNMENT INSTRUCTION REGARDING JAPANESE PROPOSAL PRESENTED BY HIM ON FEBRUARY 9 CONCERNING THE IMPORTATION OF KOREAN RICE AND THE MUTUAL RELEASE OF DETAINEES WHICH I REPORTED TO THE GOVERNMENT UNDER CABLE MTB-33. IN THIS CONNECTION, DELEGATE YU AND I TOLD HIM THAT WE HAD NOT RECEIVED THE GOVERNMENT INSTRUCTION AND THEN REPEATEDLY STRESSED THAT THE JAPANESE SIDE SHOULD SHOW MORE SINCERITY FOR EARLY SETTLEMENT OF THE COMPENSATION ISSUE, IN INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF KOREAN RICE TO BE IMPORTED AND IN BRINGING ABOUT SOLUTION OF OTHER PROBLEMS PENDING.
ISEKI REITERATED THAT THE CONTENTS OF THE JAPANESE PROPOSAL UNDER REFERENCE WERE MAXIMUM AND FINAL THAT JAPAN COULD OFFER SAYING THAT NO FURTHER CONCESSION COULD BE MADE UNDER THE PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES. HE CONTINUED THAT HE WANTED TO HAVE OUR REPLY TO THE PROPOSAL AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE. FOR DETATLS, LETTER WILL FOLLOW VIA NEXT POUCH.

THE END
