The Acting Secretary of State to the Chairman of the American Delegation (Hull)
Washington, December 19, 1933—7
p.m.
101. Your 70, December 19, 1 p.m. The President approves in general of your recommendation. He does not care who pays for the beacons or radio guides. Faster planes are an excellent idea but he believes will make only a fraction of time saving that would be made by arranging the mechanics for night flying. He emphasizes that if night flying is possible, flying time would be greatly reduced. The President would be delighted to avoid the necessity of advancing any money.
