Dr. Evatt has completed his visit to Japan and sailed for home
this morning and it has been a source of pleasure and satisfaction
to everyone to have had him here. He has represented your country
with skill and distinction and has added to its national prestige.

He has been of marked assistance with regard to occupation
problems and has made a distinct contribution to the furthering of
a treaty of peace. It is needless to add that he has rendered more
vivid the indissoluble ties of cordiality and friendship forged
between our two countries during our common war struggle in the
Pacific.

Thank you for permitting him to come.
