Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 3, 1907, (In two parts), Part II

The Acting Secretary of State to Ambassador Riddle.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Department of State,
Washington, April 2, 1907.

(The department has received cablegram from St. Petersburg. It would be obviously extremely necessary that if Turkish Government ratify convention before meeting of conference, such ratification should be accompanied by assent under article 60, so that no question thereunder can be revived and operate to delay notification to nonsignatories.)
