Your telegram No.257. After consultation with Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs I consider that question of
publication of report (which would not seem to be absolutely
necessitated by fact of publication of evidenco) cannot be
decided until II.. Government has had opportunity of studying
its teras. You should therefore refrain from publishing and
should send me 10 further copies by ocean mail.
Please repeat to Tokyo, Hanking, Commander-in-Chief.
