The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Great Britain (Page)
4117. Your 5223, November 27. Department willing to accept Foreign Office’s explanation as to Stabler-Cadogan agreement and will not invoke it with reference to future shipments provided Foreign Office willing to allow uninterrupted shipment of DeRekowski and Michigan Sugar Company consignments, which have been shipped from Germany and Austria and paid for on the basis of assurances bona fide given them by this Department that Great Britain has indicated that she would allow uninterrupted shipment of such consignments; hence good faith of Government of United States is involved as firms have acted and paid for seed on basis assurances of Department. So inform Foreign Office and urge importance settlement these two shipments as promptly as possible.
