Mr. William Phillips, Personal Representative of President Roosevelt in India, to the Secretary of State

New Delhi, April 1, 1943—7 p.m.
[Received June 17—9:47 a.m.]36

254. Leaders decided to abandon interview with Viceroy planned for today (reference my 246, March 30, 3 p.m.37). Viceroy stipulated that leaders would read out their memorandum and he would thereupon read a written reply after which the interview would be over. As this procedure precluded discussion of the various points to be raised, leaders considered that interview would be worthless.
