The Acting Secretary of State to the Consul General at Constantinople (Ravndal)

Washington, October 23, 1924—5 p.m.

Surgeon W. W. King of the United States Public Health Service, now at Paris, has been designated to participate in a consultative capacity in the meeting of the proposed Sanitary Commission which the Department understands will take place shortly at Constantinople. The Department desires that you should cooperate with Dr. King in his work with the Commission. The Department has been in correspondence with the High Commission on this subject and it is suggested that you confer with the latter. In the event that any questions should arise which might require this Government’s consideration, they should be referred to the Department through the High Commission.
