Title

Kenneth on Being Asked by Pridi How KL Obtained His Plans, etc.

Description

In 1945, when Kenneth arrived in Bangkok, he had only been there a few days when Pridi gave him an official dinner. At the dinner, Pridi said he had read Kenneth's book and commented that it was a very fair book. He wanted to know how Kenneth got hold of the documents about his economic plan? Kenneth said he couldn't reveal his sources, and said he felt he had used the documents well. Pridi agreed to that. Then Kenneth said there was one document that he wanted to acquire, and wondered if Pridi could help him. Pridi suggested that he obtain these documents using the same method he used in securing the previous ones.
