Macdonald) and the Minister of External Affairs (Mr T. C. Webb). General Gentry said that, after the conference, which occupied three days of last week, an official press release had been issued. The reaction of journalists in Hawaii had been: “It’s a good hand-out —except that it teils us nothing.” Wing Commander I. F.
