"The Government of the United States has given the most careful consideration to the subject matter of the communication from the Japanese Government."

"The Government of the United States agrees that for it to send a reinforcement of sufficient strength to act on the offensive in cooperation with anti-Bolshevik forces is impracticable."

"The Government of the United States desires the Japanese Government to know that it regrets the necessity for this decision."

"The United States enjoyed the spiritual leadership of the world until the Senate of the United States failed to ratify the treaty."
