Your 547, March 24, 3 p.m. The War Department concurs with your proposed action but on the understanding that its approval [Page 1072] in respect to the aviators presently interned is not to be construed as the initiation of a policy for the immediate release of any aviators, American or Axis, who in the future may make forced landings.
