The Acting Secretary of State to the Chairman of the American Delegation (Stimson)

[Paraphrase]

260. Our telegrams Nos. 258 and 259, March 25, 7 p.m. and 8 p.m., respectively, were written after we had read your No. 161, [Page 83] March 25, 5 p.m. The matter is assuming considerable seriousness over here, and the President is bothered. I am amazed at the cable advices of which Stone is the source.
