SIR RONALD CAMPBELL
I asked Mr. Welles this evening
what he thought about the prospects of their
talks with Japan.
He was not very communicative, and
did not add much to what I had previously-
got from Mr. Hull.
He dJji,—however, -o»y that he thought
the position was dependent upon the progress
of fighting in Europe   and that the latest
nev/s from Russia would have an unwholesome
effect upon the Japanese mind.
