The Secretary of State to the Minister in Thailand (Peck)
Washington, November
22, 1941—4 p.m.
154. Your 508, November 8, 1 p.m. The Department has given this matter the most serious consideration and has explored every possibility of making available to the Thai Ministry of Defense the desired anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns and ammunition. It is very much regretted, however, that it has been found impossible to spare any of these guns or ammunition at this moment, in view of the tremendous needs of our own defense program as well as the very urgent needs for such materials in other areas.
