ABCD POWERS CONFER
DELEGATES GRIM NO FURTHER MEETING WITH JAPANESE (Rec. 6.30 p.m.) NEW YORK, November 24. The United Press of America states that the Secretary of State, Mr Cordell Hull, conferred for two hours with the ABCD envoys as the Japanese-American talks ended in a phase of uncertainty. Mr Hull has not met the Japanese envoys since Saturday and there is no indication when the conversations will be resumed. In contrast to their cheerful appearance on Saturday the representatives of the ABCD Powers attending the conference tonight emerged grim and silent. The British Ambassador, Lord Halifax, said he had nothing to add to what was said on Saturday, but replying to a question he said he stood on Saturday’s statement that he was always an optimist. The State Department announced: “This was a continuation of the discussions previously held. One or more further meetings are contemplated.” Earlier in the day Mr Hull at a Press conference said the Japanese negotiations so far had been confined to talk rather than the definite undertaking of any decisions.
