The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant)
9029. For Hodgson. Urtel 10327, Oct 4. While Dept does not perceive what it is hoped to accomplish in Oct 16 meeting it is not felt that you should formally oppose such discussion and exchange of views. Dept is not in position at this time to say whether our military authorities will wish to be represented.
Publicity at this time regarding Far Eastern War Crimes matters would not contribute to satisfactory solution of problems involved and you should continue opposition to publicity.
