Memorandum of Conversation, by the Under Secretary of State (Welles)
The British Chargé d’Affaires, Sir Ronald Campbell, called to see me this morning at his request.
Sir Ronald first stated that he had received a telegram from Mr. Eden requesting that Secretary Hull be informed that the Secretary’s wishes with regard to information concerning the conversations proceeding between the United States and Japan had been scrupulously observed by the British Government. Mr. Eden stated that no reports concerning these conversations are being circulated to British missions and that the very small number of members of the British Government advised concerning the conversations had been impressed as to the complete secrecy of these reports.
