Have just received cablegram from Australian Minister, Washington,
which reads:-

'No. 1094. [1] Repeated to London 162.

Secretary of State [2] has now telephoned British Ambassador [3]
that in view of declaration of war by Japan against U.S.A. there
is no need for the President [4] to seek a declaration of war by
Congress although he will probably send Congress a message
tomorrow. Casey.'
Please inform us by most immediate cablegram course United Kingdom
Government proposes to take. [5]

We have declared war with Finland, Hungary and Roumania as from 5
p.m. December 8th (today).
