Germany has yet to provide any reasonable explanation because up until this point, this matter was purely between Germany and Japan. Germany has no need to explain itself to France.

However, after due and careful deliberation the German Empire has decided that, at the beginning of the year 1901, Germany intends to pay back the full 35 million. This offers Japan the full refund.

(EDIT: Spelling / grammar.)
