The Chargé in the United Kingdom (Bucknell) to the Secretary of State

London, December 9, 1943—9 p.m.
[Received December 9—5:08 p.m.]

8582. From Pell. I strongly urge the presentation to the War Crimes Commission of the tentative draft provisions on the punishment of war criminals L document 60G.43 Some plan for a court will undoubtedly be proposed and Mr. Hackworth’s plan is probably the best although some amendments will undoubtedly be wanted. I believe quick answer is desirable as another plan may be proposed to the next meeting. [Pell.]
