The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Japan (Grew)
Washington, August 19, 1932—1
p.m.
155. 1. There have recently appeared in the American press articles calculated to give the impression that the American Government has been receiving advance information with regard to the contents of an alleged “preliminary report” by the Manchuria Commission. To inquiries based thereon, the Department’s reply has been that this Government has received no such information and knows of no such report.
2. You may in your discretion so inform any responsible inquirers or on your own initiative so inform Foreign Office.
