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

Paris, September 4, 1920—5 p.m.
[Received September 5—7 a.m.]

1654. Have just received from Foreign Office telephone message stating that although the French Government is trying to send delegates to Communication Conference by October 1st, it seems impossible that they can leave to reach the United States before October 8 on account of the lack of steamer accommodations. French Government asks that Conference be postponed until their arrival. I will send further details Monday.
