The Secretary of State to the Chairman of the American Delegation (Davis)

77. Your 50, November 21, 4 p.m. I am very glad to have your comprehensive statement in regard to the press problem with which you have had to deal there. I realize the difficulties of the situation and I appreciate very much the efforts you are making to remove from the minds of the press representatives misconceptions and erroneous ideas and to give them an accurate understanding of the situation. I feel that your continued efforts along this line will be most helpful.

Here I have been asking the press representatives to come in to see me in small groups or singly and have explained to them the facts of the situation, our policy and our attitude, and have endeavored to give them a correct understanding of and perspective in regard to the whole matter.
