The Minister in Thailand (Peck) to the Secretary of State

Bangkok, November 8, 1941—1 p.m.
[Received November 8—9:20 a.m.]

508. The Thai Ministry of Defense is extremely anxious to purchase a small number of anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns with ammunition. The Legation has informed the applicants that it is extremely improbable that any such supplies could be made available from the United States but at their earnest request consented to telegraph an inquiry. I request the Department’s instruction.
