740.00119 Control (Japan)/11–1245: Telegram
The Acting Political Adviser in Japan (Atcheson) to the Secretary of State
[Received November 15—midnight.]
118. Re Department’s telegram 109, November 11 [10].22 We know of no British or American technicians working with Japanese on constitutional reform and believe that our discussions with associates of Konoye was the nearest to any such working arrangement. As reported in our 103, November 8, those discussions have now ceased and HQS states it does not have any officers participating on the working level with Japanese in formulating constitutional revision.
