2934. Your 2854, December 51 Department has apparently not been informed of formal adhesion of British and Italian Governments [Page 1185] to silk agreement [of June 9, 1917].1 Ascertain whether this adhesion has been formally given and inform Department. When Great Britain, Italy and France have formally adhered thereto and are ready to deposit their quotas you are authorized to draw on Department and deposit this Government’s quota as suggested in last paragraph of your 2854.
