Lamont’s proposed exchange of notes has the approval of the Department. The Embassies at London and Paris are being instructed to advise the respective Foreign Offices thereof and to urge the desirability of facilitating a prompt agreement by indicating a similar approval on the part of the British and French Governments and groups. The British Government has been particularly requested to waive its protest against the exclusion from the consortium of the three lines west of the South Manchuria Railway.
