The Secretary of State to the Personal Representative of the President in India (Johnson)
173. Your no. 224, April 25, 5 p.m. In giving consideration to questions involved in taking action you propose in connection with the suggested creation of a war production board in India, it would prove extremely helpful if the Department might be furnished with more detailed factual information regarding conditions which appear to necessitate the creation of such a board. It is suggested, therefore, that you request Dr. Grady, in his capacity as Chairman of the Advisory Mission, to undertake an investigation of this subject and to submit a preliminary telegraphic report thereon to the Department as soon as practicable.
