339. Foreign Minister tells me that there is no doubt about the ratification of the treaty in November. Three parties have agreed to support it; but it will increase the majority if the United States Senate ratifies the treaty as soon as possible. This I look upon as most desirable. A delay may produce other delays here.

Egan
