PR SUMMARY
September 2, 1945
3:00 PM
JULES HANNAFORD (State Department) and JACK HANNAFORD to their mother
and father, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. HANNAFORD at White Bear Lake, Minnesota
at telephone, White Bear Lake 134. JULES said that he would probably
be home in two or three weeks. He said that he would go to Chicago
"and look" before he comes home. GERTRUDE, apparently JULES sister,
will go to Seattle to visit MARGARET FOLEY week after next. JACK
said the commissioning date of his ship now under construction at
Norfolk will be on December 20, 1945, and that he may be transferred
to another ship. In any event he will probably be out of the service
by next spring. At present he is in school 5 days a week. JULES's
father said he received a card from a firm with which APPEL (phonetic)
is connected. Mrs. HANNAFORD asked JULES about lend-lease and JULES
said the Allies didn't know it was to be discontinued. JULES HANNAFORD
told his mother and father: "We (the United States Government) have
gummed up things pretty badly. His mother asked JULES why it was
gummed up and JULES said: "That's the great man we got in the White
House." His father asked: "You might vote Republican, huh?" and JULES
replied: "That depends on who they put up for Democratic nominee (for
President) next time. But I don't think I would vote Republican.
JULES continued saying that the Allies didn't know about the stoppage
of lend-lease "until a week ago last Monday when they were notified
in writing. They'd never been told. It's very bad." Mrs. HANNAFORD:
"Why didn't you tell them about it? It wasn't up to the President to
tell them, was it?" JULES replied: "Because we, in fact, at our level
had told them it would continue for awhile after V-J Day. But the
President reversed us. That was what made it very bad
CAINES
and HALIFAX are arriving the first of the week, I think the conversa-
tions will start the end of next week and then when that's over I
think I shall come home.
