The Ambassador in Burma (Huddle) to the Secretary of State
[Received 11:32 p. m.]
230. Foreign Office note June 9 informs Embassy [that] Union Government is in complete agreement with common front policy based on two principles set forth by Embassy (Deptel 123, June 4, second paragraph) and would be most grateful if Embassy would communicate these views to Department of State.
Foreign Office states further it has lost direct contact with Burmese. Ambassador, Nanking. He has recently been instructed through British Embassy to return Rangoon for consultation and presumably will leave Nanking near future. Foreign Office, however, is anxious I he should continue participate consultations Nanking while he is there and requests that he be informed through American Embassy, Nanking, that Union Government has signified acceptance common front policy.
GOB also feels that proposed exchange views between Department and Burmese Ambassador, Washington, would be highly beneficial.
If Department receives from Nanking news of Burmese Ambassador’s plans and welfare, I should be glad to communicate it to Foreign Minister.
