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

London, January 9, 1943—midnight.
[Received January 10—1:25 a.m.]

241. Department’s 155, January 7, 7 p.m., paragraph 2. We shall endeavor to arrange in future for consultation with the Department about the time of day when release[s] of considerable interest are to be made. In the case of the declaration on property transfers it was indicated in section 3 of Embassy’s 6797 of December 111 that the declaration would probably be made at midday. As no comment was received it was assumed that the Department had no objection to this arrangement.
