London, Feb. 9
When shown the comment by Mr. Cordell Hull on his speech on Anglo-American action against Japan, Dr. Gilbert Murray stated, "I im; there is no vesti American agreement, I did not put my statement higher than saying as reported, that I had reason to believe that we had given the American Government an assurance.
I should also like it to be understood that I intended to say that it was apparently a confidential communication by the Government. I should not, of course, speak about any statement I knew was confidential. so intended to imply that these are very difficult problems, and without professing to be certain, or to contradict other people, I believe that Great Britain is suffering very much because she is believed to be acting only for her own interests."
