Memorandum
With a view to meeting American complaints Sir Edward Grey is ready to set up a small unofficial committee of persons of experience who shall examine any specific case in which an allegation is made of unnecessary delay in dealing with ships and cargoes from the United States. This committee would also suggest any improvements in the machinery for the purpose of preventing such delays in other cases.
