The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Japan (Grew)

288. Your 521, November 5, 2 p.m. We appreciate very much your telegrams on this important subject. We will await your analysis and estimate of the situation and hope to receive it at the earliest practicable moment. We are especially interested in (a) whether Japan is likely to declare war and (b) the probable attitude of Japan in the event of such a declaration toward American and other third country rights and interests in and with regard to China.
