The Ambassador in Japan (Grew) to the Secretary of State
[Received November 30—7:05 a.m.]
757. Our 756, November 30, noon.44 Yoshizawa, who is the informant referred to in our 75545 and 756, has just telephoned to say that a conference in the presence of the Emperor of five Cabinet Ministers and officers of Imperial Headquarters on the new Japanese policy did take place today. (The fact that a high official of the Foreign Office did not have direct prior knowledge of this important event is indicative of the secrecy with which the plan for the holding of this conference was carried.) He added that a public announcement with regard to the new policy would be issued shortly.
Repeated to Shanghai for Chungking.
