The Acting Secretary of State to the Political Adviser in Siam (Tost)
Washington, December 22, 1945—4 p.m.
80. Dept believes US should not resume diplomatic relations immediately on treaty signing to avoid association therewith, but equally should avoid long delay. Present view is that Jan 1 would be suitable day, but feel we must clear with Brit so that both may act same day, but with US technically in advance in view previous deferment. Please advise Dept immediately your judgment as to most suitable time.
