December 14, 1941 My dear Halifax: Here is a draft of a message to General Chiang Kai-Shek and a draft of a message from me to Mr. Stalin. They are self-explanatory. I hope you will ask London if they will go ahead with the holding of the Singapore confer- ence and also instruct your people in Chungking and Moscow to take part in the proposed meetings as soon as they are held by Chiang Kai-Shek and Stalin. I assume, of course, that Australia and New Zealand will be represented in Singapore. Always sincerely, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT The Right Honorable the Viscount Halifax, K. G., The British Ambassador, Washington, D.C. fdr/tmb |
