274
The New Zealand Minister, Washington, to the Prime Minister

23 April 1942

Your telegram of 22 April. I discussed the New Zealand Chiefs of Staff appreciation on the defence of Fiji with Admiral King this morning and have sent copies to him, Admiral Ghormley, and General Marshall.

The appreciation will be referred at once to the United States Plans Division for report.

The Plans Division have for some time been examining the appreciation set out in cable [No. 209]1 and I hope that a decision will be reached at an early date.

Williams2 will meet the Plans Division in conference tomorrow morning.
