The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Japan (Grew)

314. The New York Herald Tribune today carries an article by Fleisher, under Tokyo date line November 23, the first sentence of which reads as follows: “That Japan’s political idea is to establish a United States of Asia is the argument advanced in a pamphlet being distributed to foreign correspondents ‘with the compliments’ of Premier Prince Fumimaro Konoye.”

Please endeavor to obtain a copy of the pamphlet and forward it to Department by pouch with the Embassy’s comment thereon.
