IT IS MY SPONTANEOUS THOUGHT THAT THE READING PUBLIC WANTS YOUR OPINION AS TO THE POSSIBLE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE FORTHCOMING DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE. WE WILL GREATLY APPRECIATE THE COURTESY IF YOU WILL DRAFT AND TELEGRAPH OR MAIL AT FIRST CONVENIENCE A STATEMENT WHICH WE MAY MAKE PUBLIC IN OUR MORE THAN 500 NEWSPAPERS HERE AND ABROAD. I BELIEVE YOU WILL AGREE THAT THERE IS ONLY VAGUE IDEA IN PUBLIC [PAGE 2] MIND AS TO THE POSSIBILITIES OF THIS CONFERENCE AND OUR PURPOSE IS FURNISH INFORMATION UPON WHICH INTELLIGENT DISCUSSION MAY BE BASED. THEREFORE WHAT ARE YOUR OPINIONS AS TO RESULTS POSSIBLE OF ATTAINMENT AND HOW DO YOU STAND ON THE GENERAL QUESTION OF DISARMAMENT. BE INTERESTING TOO IF YOU WOULD CONSIDER QUESTION OF OPEN SESSIONS. ANY STATEMENT EVEN IF VERY BRIEF RESPECTFULLY REQUESTED
