President Roosevelt to the British Ambassador (Halifax)
Washington, December 14,
1941.
My Dear Halifax: Here is a message to General Chiang Kai-Shek63 and a similar message from me to Mr. Stalin.64 They are self-explanatory.
I hope you will ask London if they will go ahead with the holding of the Singapore conference and also instruct your people in Chungking and Moscow to take part in the proposed meetings as soon as they are held by Chiang Kai-Shek and Stalin. I assume, of course, that Australia and New Zealand will be represented in Singapore.
Always sincerely,
Franklin D. Roosevelt
