Kenneth and Margaret on His Earliest Exchanges About Southeast Asia with the US Government

Kenneth and Margaret tell about Kenneth's earliest exchanges with the government about Southeast Asia. They talked about when the Japanese could attack Thailand, why the Japanese were in Indochina and how far, if they attack Thailand, they could drive. The government wanted also to know if the Japanese would go to Burma or the Netherlands Indies, and how they could attack Singapore.
