Memorandum of Conversation, by the Adviser on Political Relations (Hornbeck)
[Washington,] July 18, 1941.
Mr. Hall called on me at his request in continuation of conversation begun on July 16. Mr. Hall said that the British Government expected to be very conservative about putting embargoes on foodstuffs in trade with Japan; that it was giving “further study” to certain commodities, especially: iron ore, lead, zinc, bauxite, manganese, salt, mica, fluorspar and copra from New Guinea; and that it was especially interested in the subject of bunker control in the Pacific.
