In preparing study referred to in my telegram D.290 [1] planning
staff drew to a considerable extent on the valuable suggestions
made in your telegram No. 49 [2] and recommendations now approved
by Ministers here are generally in line with your views. Reports
which we have received from Tokyo and Washington indicate that it
is very desirable that the Far Eastern Commission should at an
early date examine the proposals in regard to the economic policy
to be adopted for Japan with a view to action being taken to meet
problems of the kind which we have been considering in
consultation with you and other Governments of the Commonwealth.
