Memorandum of Telephone Conversation, by the Assistant Secretary of State (Long)

Sir Ronald Campbell called by telephone to ask if there was anything that I could say for the information of Lord Halifax as to the matters discussed in the conversation he had with me on last Saturday, September 2.

I replied that the Secretary was laying the matter before the President and that there was nothing I could tell him further than that.

He asked if there was any indication as to time of a decision. I told him that there was no way I could inform him as to the time of a decision.
