The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Bingham)
510. Department has received from the American Embassy, Brussels, for its confidential information a preliminary text of Van Zeeland’s prospective report. The Ambassador states that Van Zeeland plans to have a final conversation with Chamberlain before releasing this report and did not believe this conversation would take place before December 28 or 29.
The Department is giving preliminary study to the report which raises various reflections in its mind. Would you inform the British Government that we should be interested to be informed as to its judgment of the report and its possible utility in so far as the British Government may feel free to so inform us for possible use in the formulation of our own judgment.
