Cablegram 183 WASHINGTON, 7 March 1941, 8.08 p.m.
SECRET FOR MINISTER AND PRIME MINISTER
In reported proposed secret session of Parliament no doubt it will
be ensured that no reference is made that might compromise the
Lease-Lend Bill which is in delicate final stage.
Although the warning is probably quite unnecessary I feel that I
should also say that any reference that might conceivably become
public regarding staff conversations or to the attitude of the
United States in the Pacific should be guarded against at all
costs.
