The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in France ( Herrick )

361. Your 445, November 3, 3 p.m.

Please reply to French Government in sense of final paragraph of Department’s 357, November 3, 5 p.m. You may add that, as this Government is unable to accept the French thesis in regard to the legality of the granting of the port concession, it obviously cannot issue the instructions to the American Agent in Tangier requested by the French note.
