Transcription: 20/6/41 Dear Harry,  I said I'd wait for a few days. I would have done so in any case. Further reflection only confirms my view. The adventitious character of the evidence is the more convincing. It may be subordinate stupidity or it may be malice, but the question is posed and I can see only one answer. I am somewhat distressed but after all it is not an important matter these days and as the Americans say when faced with a proposition: "O.K., it suits me". As of course it does, literally. Please send enclosed two telegrams by to day's courier. Best to you.  H.

Transcription: American Embassy. Vichy, France. June 8, 1941. Radio Bulletin No. 135. Washington, D. C. June 7, 1941. 0            New York Times. The following is the text of the New rk Times editorial which the President, at yesterday's White use press conference, said merited reprinting in newspapers roughout the entire U.S.A. (see Radio Bulletin No. 134 of June 6) "At the end of his interview with Mr. Cudahy, in this orning's Times, Adolf Hitler complains that he is always being isunderstood in the U.S. Time after time he has tried to emphasize that the position of Germany and his plans are not inimical to the U.S. but his efforts have always proved futile.' "They will always remain futile unless we become a nation f dupes; for the utter worthlessness of Hitler's explanations nd assurances and promises is written in his record. This is the an who solemnly declared that 'Germany has neither the wish nor he intention to mix in internal Austrian affairs or to annex or nite with Austria' - and who then annexed it. This is the man  ho promised that once the Sudeten question wäs solved 'there will e no further territorial problems in Europe for Germany' - and  ho then marched his army into Prague. This is the man who declared that an agreement of his own making with Poland would bring about lasting and continuous pacification'  and who then fell upon and butchered and dismembered Poland. This is the man who gave the most explicit possible assurances that his plans were 'not inimical' to Norway, to Denmark, to Holland and to Belgium - and who then robbed them of their freedom. A type of U.S.A. Press comment. Dr Strode and all ohter Rockefeller agents in France have received orders to go home at once

Transcription: We are always keen on news from friends at Geneva & I am sorry that my most frequent correspondent is Mr. Henneberger! However by passings round letters amongst the Wilson, Janet Smith, Emily Johnston & occasionally others we manage to get along. No-one I have spoken to here has ever seen any sign of letters from Geneva being opened except by the British censorship, so you can speak freely - certainly some of our Swiss friends do so! I sympathise very much with the hard struggle you are having to keep going; I am sure it is right to hold to Geneva, & to keep things up there as much as you can. I see in the Times that £75,000 is provided in the budget estimates for the League contribution (the I.L.O. contribution being a separate vote apparently -suppose because it comes on the Ministry of Labour vote) - they add that the U.K. share is just over 20% of the total - is this right? I gave a public lecture the other day in which I said that in the revised League after the war (as to which I am very confident) the budget ought to be a lot bigger than it was and that I personally could make out a very good case for believing that if the budget had been doubled on an average from 1920 to 1940 the League might have succeeded & war been avoided. I believe this is true though such -things cannot be proved. I shall send you a copy when it is printed. Well my dear John I will stop now - the Secretariat is never far from my thoughts & if I can do anything to help it you know you have only to tell me. Pse thank Miss Harris for her note & tell her we have seen the Buxtons - he was much better again - we've seen the Dalals too on leave from Glasgow, in very good form. Remember me to all friends - I will write to Martin & Aghnides & Vigier in due course, I hope - The very best of luck to you, Yours ever, Frank
