Abstract
September 1942, the British ambassador at Washington, Viscount Halifax, was discussing with the state department's special adviser on Far Eastern affairs, Stanley Hornbeck, the controversy in 1932 between Sir John Simon, then the British foreign secretary, and the then US secretary of state, Henry L. Stimson. Afterwards, Halifax noted in his diary that Hornbeck 'said he thought American opinion had been very unjust to Simon, and threw out the idea of our trying to write an agreed history of it by some joint committee. I think this idea is worth pursuing, having regard to the future.'1
