HIROTA on the 7 December 1941 Note

Comyns Carr submits to Sandusky a brief summary of the major points HIROTA gave during his interrogation of 23 March 1946. HIROTA stated that he did not attend the Imperial Conference on 1 December 1941 but was present at a November 1941 meeting when TOJO discussed the government plan for war. Further answering on that November meeting, HIROTA stated that he did not know what was sent in the 7 December 1941 note to Cordell Hull.
