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

879. Your 329, March 31 [30], 5 p.m. to London repeated to this Embassy as Department’s 641. Foreign Office was to-day informed of Lamont’s proposal for an exchange of notes as outlined, of your approval and of your request for the cooperation of the French Government. I am promised an early expression of views which, it was indicated, would be in accord with those of the British and American Governments. In fact I was informed that the Foreign Office, having learned from the French group of Lamont’s proposal, has already telegraphed to the French Ambassador at Tokyo approving in principle.
