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.
