The First Secretary of the British Embassy (Wright) to the Assistant Secretary of State (Berle)

Ref. 56/83/44

Washington, March 2, 1944.

My Dear Mr. Berle: With reference to the second paragraph of my letter of February 25th,⁴³ about the reported proposed meeting of the Prime Ministers of the Commonwealth countries,⁴⁴ I write to tell you that we have now heard from London that the agenda of the meeting has not yet been settled and that, though it is likely that there will be a discussion on civil aviation, there is no foundation for the suggestion in the newspaper report that air policy will be a paramount consideration at the meeting.

Yours sincerely,

Michael Wright
