The Secretary of State to the British Ambassador (Howard)
Excellency: Referring to your aide-memoire dated March 27, 1926, in which you were so good as to invite this Government to send representatives to London for discussion with the competent British authorities respecting administrative cooperation for the suppression of illicit liquor traffic, I have the honor to state that the suggestions submitted by the officials who participated in the Conference held in London in July, last, have been carefully considered by this Government. I take pleasure in advising you that in so far as the United States is concerned the suggestions are accepted and this Government is prepared to put them into effect immediately.
I shall be grateful if you will be so good as to inform me what the views of your Government are with respect to these suggestions and in case they are approved, on what date your Government will be prepared to consider them in effect.
Accept [etc.]
