[Telegram]

5271. Your 4048, November 16, 3 p. m. Foreign Office replies to representations based on above by reminding that the concession regarding shipments of tobacco mentioned in their note transmitted in my 5076,1 October 26, was made on my invitation. Though they regret that the limitation to contracts made before July 15, as suggested in last paragraph your 3860,2 September 23, should be considered by Danish Merchants’ Guild as more burdensome than the arrangements theretofore existing, they state that the British Government feels unable to make any further concession in the direction indicated in your 4048 of November 16. I shall therefore await further instructions before presenting your 4110 December 1.
