Washington, May 9,
1945—7 p.m.
133. Reurtel 124, May 8, 7 p.m. It is believed that action of the character suggested might have such far-reaching consequences that it should not be taken without the approval in advance of the highest authorities of the American and British Governments. If the British desire our support for it, it would be advisable for them to approach us through London on a high level.
