Memorandum by the Under Secretary of State (Phillips)

[ Washington ,] August 24, 1922 .

Mr. Chilton of the British Embassy informed me that the ratifications of the Washington treaties have been received from London. He wished to inquire whether we were prepared to exchange ratifications. I told him that in my opinion the ratifications ought to be held in the British Embassy until the appointed time for the joint deposit of ratifications at the Department.
