The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Japan (Grew)
Washington, June 11,
1934—noon.
94. Regarding press reports that it was intimated at White House luncheon on June 8 that the President contemplates or desires meeting at Hawaii for discussion high officials from Japan, there is no basis in fact and it has been reported to Department that Japanese Ambassador and Prince Konoye have already made denial. The President’s trip is to be recreational, not political.
You may use the above in whatever connection you deem desirable.
