No. 1298. Fuller. Refer our 1259, August 19. Conference plan for enemy trade licensing seems likely [to fail on] account the lack of interest here. In order to press matter here would appreciate your advices as to what we stand to gain by conference control in contrast to previous informal procedure of exchanging copies of licenses granted by London and Washington to their respective nationals.
