52
The acting Prime Minister of New Zealand to the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs1

30 August 1941

Your telegrams of 28 August.

His Majesty's Government in New Zealand fully concur in the proposal of His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom to reinforce the warning issued to Japan by the United States, and for their part they would much prefer that this should be done in terms of Formula No. 1.

His Majesty's Government in New Zealand are, moreover, willing to authorise His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom to make on their behalf a declaration in similar terms to the Japanese Government, but they wish that this should be done in association with and at the same time as similar declarations are made for the other Dominions.

1 Repeated to the Prime Minister of Australia.
