  1. A carbon copy of the memorandum, now filed with the record copy, is dated May 7. The editors are of the opinion that the date on the carbon copy is the correct one. Presumably, the Secretariat, on May 8, retyped for the use of the Secretary the carbon copy sent by New York to the Department and gave it the later date. The record copy, dated May 8, bears the Secretary’s initials.
