Memorandum of Conversation, by the Secretary of State
[Washington,] October 3, 1941.
The British Ambassador called at his request. He said that his Government had information to the effect that China, while voicing a contrary view, really desired to see our talks with Japan prove successful. I replied that I had not heard anything to this effect.93
