The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State

London, September 9, 1941.
[Received September 9—2:43 p.m.]

4183. Your 3672, 9th. Thanks helpful suggestions. Seeing the Chancellor early tomorrow morning for final concurrence.

I am also suggesting that in numbered paragraph 6, second sentence, the words “in tonnage” be inserted after “6 percent.” This seems essential for clarity in meaning as the percentage in values is greater than 5 or 6 percent. In same sentence I am suggesting that phrase “is coming” be substituted for “will come.”

I will include these minor changes in the final document40 unless I hear from you to the contrary.

Winant
