The Ambassador in Germany (Gerard) to the Secretary of State

[Telegram]

1926. Referring my 1824, March 11, regarding proposal for basis of international agreement for securing information concerning condition of prisoners of war. I have now received copy of note from British Office to Mr. Page, dated March 20, which, while appearing to accept these proposals in principle does not give a definite affirmative reply. What I desire is a specific acceptance by the Governments of Great Britain, France, and Russia of my definite and advantageous proposals already approved and accepted by the German Government. Please urge early reply.

Gerard
