The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State

London, January 3, 1944—6 p.m.
[Received January 3—1:26 p.m.]

20. Reference Embassy’s 17, January 36 regarding delay in Kellogg’s arrival. Embassy has now been informed that Dr. Kellogg’s plane is still in Bermuda and he cannot therefore reach London before night of January 6 at earliest. While Embassy understands conference will probably adjourn on 4th to reconvene on 6th, [Page 933] it is believed it will be difficult to delay any longer. In view of British expectation of short duration of conference, it is quite possible Dr. Kellogg might not arrive until after its final adjournment. In these circumstances does Department have any special instructions?
