The Ambassador in Great Britain ( Davis) to the Secretary of State
[Received 11.09 a.m.]
23. Your 6310, December 26, 5 p.m. Foreign Office requests further information as to the reasons which make it desirable, in the [Page 760] opinion of the American Government, to proceed to the elaboration of a military agreement of the sort proposed. British Government is disposed to think that the conclusion of the convention at this date would not be of any great utility and in order that the matter may be reexamined the Foreign Office would be glad to receive further particulars as to the views of the American Government in the matter.
