But he does object, the secretary noted, “to what he asserts has been a failure or refusal to make this policy public.” But “of all the phases of our policy in the Far East Byrhes said, the U. 8. policy of supporting and dealing with the Chiang government “seems to have ben the clearest and most obviouk”: - : “We formally recognize only the National.

Then he reached the final message which instructed the Japanese diplomats to deliver their note to Secretary of State Cordell Hull at 1 p.m. . “That, of course, was indicative to me and to others that some Jap action was going to follow,” he related. He said he called Adm. Harold R. Stark, chief of naval operations, and suggested sending a warning to west coast and Pacific outposts. He testified Stark thought this might confuse the outpost commanders because they already had been alerted against possible Jap? anese action in messages dispatched Nov. 27. Warning Message ..
