First day of the second lunar month
Wen Yuanning left this morning. Wrote to Dai Defu.
Our enemy are continuing with their stupidities to our great rejoicing. The Jap Foreign Minister when answering questions in the Diet on the 24th declared that it had always been his idea to have the whole of Oceania for the Asiatics, i.e. for the Japs. What would America think when she is to yield even Honolulu to the Japs? The feeling of the British towards this inexcusable claim can easily be imagined.
