Raher than speculate about what Roosevelt, Marshal, or King might have told Mac I'd recomend taking a close look at Stimsons communications to Mac. Unlike the others Stimson had a much more optimistic view of defending PI. Judging from quotes and summarys of Stimsons correspondence or memos Mac may have accquired a false impression of the resources available.
