1st. Have sent Commission letter embodying substance of paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 and also stating, as indicated in the Department’s H–80, October 1st,²⁰ that when in a position to do so my Government will furnish Commission with accounting for tankers. Did not embody statement contained in paragraph 1 of Department’s telegram, since our position has already been made clear and since Legal Service has unanimously decided that we have right to be reimbursed expenses properly incurred in management of fleet of tankers out of earnings of fleet taken as a whole.
