The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Japan (Grew)
Washington, July 15, 1940—8
p.m.
269. At the press conference on July 15 a correspondent asked whether this Government had been informed of the news that the British are working actively for settlement of the Sino-Japanese conflict. The Secretary replied that we continue to pursue our policy of following our own, separate, independent course with respect to the situation in the Far East and added that, in order to know more fully what the British are doing, the correspondent would want to speak to the British themselves.
