The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State
[Received 11:33 p.m.]
4371. Hildred says that his proposed trip to the United States to discuss technical matters mentioned in Embassy’s telegram No. 3573, May 1, 10 p.m., although approved by the Air Minister, has been held up by Beaverbrook who does not wish to let the technical phases of aviation discussions pass completely out of his hands. Hildred has [Page 486] written a long letter to Warner24 outlining the subjects he wishes to discuss or have discussed in Washington and believes that if Warner replies favorably, expressing the hope that Hildred can come to Washington, approval will be secured for his trip. We feel that the comments contained in our 3573 of May 1 still hold good. This message is most secret.
