The High Commissioner in Turkey (Bristol) to the Secretary of State
Constantinople, January 12,
1925—11 a.m.
[Received January 12—10:50 a.m.]
[Received January 12—10:50 a.m.]
5. Swedish Minister has informed me that his Government desires to discontinue the official representation of the United States in Turkey.4 Before writing me officially he desires assurance of a favorable reply. As such representation has for long been a fiction and as the Swedish Minister, like myself, has not yet presented letters to the President of the Republic I recommend that I be authorized to exchange notes with him as indicated.
