Memorandum by the Chief of the Division of Far Eastern Affairs (Hamilton) to the Under Secretary of State (Welles)

[Washington,] October 15, 1942.

Mr. Welles: Mr. Hornbeck and I, upon giving further consideration to the matter, are of the opinion that if Mr. Browder is to give out and publish the other statement which you gave him54 it would be well for Mr. Browder to publish this statement55 also.

(If this statement is to be sent to him, the first page would need to be retyped in as much as it bears the FE date stamp.)56
