The High Comissioner in Turkey (Bristol) to the Secretary of State

Constantinople, December 12, 1924—8 p.m.
[Received December 13—6:53 a.m.]

232. Minister of Foreign Affairs intimated informally day before yesterday to delegate at Angora that our treaties would not be presented to Assembly for ratification until our Senate had ratified or at least seemed to be on the point of ratifying them. It would be most helpful if I could have exact present status of treaties before Senate.
