3872. Sir Edward Grey has again informed me that he expects the English and French answer to our long note on shipping to be ready next week. The English answer is now before the Cabinet and he is urging the French to haste. He expresses regret at the long time consumed and wishes me to assure you that he is hastening the answer as urgently as possible.
