American Embassy
The Hague, Netherlands
April 6, 1950
My dear Mr. Secretary:
Although we will, of course, report officially on
the repercussions following the termination of the Defense
meetings, I thought you might be interested to know that I
have heard nothing but the highest praise for the orderly
and speedy despatch of business conducted by the American
delegation, and particularly of the masterful way in which
you presided over the final meeting. Especially effective,
according to my Dutch friends, were your individual inter-
views with the various Defense Ministers which they believe
cleared much of the way for a successful conclusion.
I hope you had a pleasant trip home, and note
that you completely and satisfactorily disposed of the
Shinwell-Strachey misunderstanding.
With warmest personal regards.
Yours sincerely,
/s/ Alden Chapin
The Honorable
Louis Johnson
Secretary of Defense
Washington, D. C.
