Caption on front [translation]: "Ambassador Grew Won't Come Back After Returning to the US? Personal Possessions Already Sent From Tokyo Last Fall. The President Believed to Be Already Looking for Successor. It has been reported that US ambassador to Japan Grew will return to the US for an important report to President Roosevelt at about the same time as the appointment of new Japanese ambassador to the US Nomura and his advisor Wakasugi. Those in the know in Washington say that Ambassador Grew already sent his personal possessions within his residence to the US following the signing of the Tripartite Pact last fall and it has been surmised from other considerations that the ambassador will likely not return to his post.

Although there are those who pick Under Secretary of State Welles as the next ambassador, President Roosevelt may go in a completely different direction. The change of ambassadors is expected to occur after Ambassador Grew returns home, so in March or April. [Stamped] January 16, 1941."
