The Ambassador in France ( Sharp ) to the Secretary of State

[Telegram]

2370. Your 2554 [2514], August 3.2 Confirming their views expressed in my 2354 of 2d instant, Mr. Cambon informed me last night that France was unalterably opposed to allowing its Socialist delegates to attend the conference at Stockholm. He assured me that England and Italy would also pursue the same course. The action taken by Mr. Gompers in reference to attending the conference,3 which is published here, is commented on most favorably by several of the leading official papers.
