which had been implied in our understanding with them. He said
that if they kept talking along present lines they would get
themselves and us so deeply committed that we would have to bring
them back to reality with a thud by announcing that we had no
intention of proceeding along the lines set forth by Quirino
in his various announcements. The Secretary said that he
appreciated that Quirino had to be cobled off, and that he would
make this clear when he spoke with Romulo again. He said that he
thought that Romulo was frightened enough by the prospect of a
US announcement and the effect that that would have, to be counted
upon to send a message which would make clear the US would make
no announcement only if the Filipinos stayed within bounds.
The Secretary spoke with General Romulo later in the
evening and told him that there should be no announcements of
any kind by anyone. He said he had told the Department not to
go ahead with the announcement about which Romulo had spoken,
but that Romulo should make clear to his Government that it too
should cease any planned activity to give a further build-up
to the American visits in Manila. General Romulo assured the
Secretary that he would get such a cable off right away.
