The Ambassador in Great Britain ( Page ) to the Secretary of State

[Telegram]

London , August 30, 1917, noon .

7060. The reception of the President’s answer to the Pope by the Government, the press, and, so far as I can yet tell, by the whole British public, is more enthusiastic than the reception of any previous declaration with the exception only of the President’s speech asking Congress to declare war. It meets with universal enthusiastic approval.
