The contents OF the letter, orig
.inally were published by Drew
Pearson, newspaper columnist, who
charged that because of its criti-
cal contents Phillips was removed
from the staff Of Gen. Eisenhower

The second Phillips letter on
India to President RooSevelt-to
which Chandler referred today
was described as much stronger
than the original report.

Contrary to the British view
point that conditions in India
are none of our business, they
are of paramount importance

India is not only of great
value rs base for our future
operations against Burma and
Japan but can shorten the vic

effort. l agree fully with Am
bassador Phillips in his state
ment that India has only luke
warm interest I'm the war against
Japan because of British treat
ment.
aside from indications Of
British interference with our
diplomatic appointments, the
Phillips incident reveals the ne
cessity of knowing just where
