WASHINGTON, December 29,1941.

The Prime Minister, in his talk with me late this afternoon, suggested the elimination of Section E of the Declaration on the ground that it was repetitious.(3)

(1) The omitted paragraphs of this memorandum refer to the problem of St. Pierre and Miquelon; see ante, p. 140. Back
