The Ambassador in France (Herrick) to the Secretary of State
[Received May 23—2:30 p.m.]
256. W–51. Apparently the delay mentioned in the last paragraph of my W–50, May 23, 1 p.m., is due to the Italians who, according to my information, desire to present note to the American Ambassador here as well as to the American Ambassador at Rome. [Page 179] Subject to any further instructions I shall try to push the matter to a conclusion on Saturday rather than Monday.
I have had a friendly talk with Bradbury since my W–50; neither by him nor by Tannery has there been further mention of submitting agreement to the German Government. Wadsworth.
