On the one hand it might have been possible\nthat he could not have gotten the government to go along and on\nthe other hand, it might have been a grand charade,\nR:\nIf there is anything I can do, let me know.\nK:\nRogers is going to talk to Sato. We had held off on it. We\nhad\nmade a fairly reasonable offer and they knew if they gave us a\nthree-year agreement, we would not ask for an extension SO it\nwas just a question of meeting that one particular thing.\nR:\nI think it is also true that Maury has made things impossible.\nK:\nThere is no question that he did. We had him under pretty good\ncontrol, we thought. The President was willing to go very far\nto get an agreement.\nR:\nThe Japanese Consul General in New York came to see me and\nI have never seen anyone so disheartened as he was. He was\ntaken completely by surprise.\nK:\nWe were taken by surprise. We thought for all practical purposes\nwe had an agreement and no one thought the length of time would\nlead to a breakdown and the next morning they came in and with-\ndrew every proposal they had made the day before saying they\ncould not deliver, We said why did you send your two cabinet\nmembers? They said it was part of their goodwill.\nR:\nThe Consul General questioned whether they could make some other\ngesture as to automobiles, etc., and I said anything would help,"
