-2-, #1787, from London, dated May 6, 1941; rec'd 4:39 p.m.
 
Prime Minister or from the Prime Minister to you immediate-
 
ly on receipt. Therefore I did not see this message be-
 
fore it was forwarded to you. Prior to this occasion the
 
Prime Minister has usually discussed with me messages and
 
always public statements bearing on Anglo-American relations.
 
     When I saw him with Eden on Monday, they told me that
 
they were very sorry they had failed to talk over this
 
message with me as had been agreed by the Prime Minister.
 
They told me it would not happan again.  
 
     I have hesitated about reporting this to you, but
 
felt I should.
