550.S1/933: Telegram
The Acting Secretary of State to the Chairman of the American Delegation (Hull)
17. The President desires me to send you the following message:
“Very glad to have your Number 14 and that you are continuing pressing early adjournment. Perhaps it would be worthwhile considering a motion on Monday or Tuesday stating it is the sense of Conference that its work be concluded on or before August 12th. I think nearly all smaller nations would support this.
Congress is in parliamentary difficulties about veterans’ allowances. I still hope for adjournment late tonight. If this not possible am asking for adjournment Monday.
My best to you all. (Signed) Roosevelt.”
