In view particularly of the references to

destroyed both by the Secretariat and the members of
the Committee, but at the special request of Pinkney
Tuck, (the American Consul at Geneva and observer on
the Committee) and Sato, the Japanese delegate, who
both wished to make enquiries, he agreed to their
sending a copy to their Governments for confidential
use in making such enquiries on the understanding
that no other use was made of it.
Delevingne asks me to say that we cannot
trace here that we have ever received an identical

Office have yet received the report.
He suggests that in the first instance you
will probably wish to ask Lloyd if he is able to throw
any light on the incident.
Yours sincerely,
