The High Commissioner in Turkey (Bristol) to the Secretary of State
[Received 3:15 p.m.]
16. Your 23, March 9, noon. Turkish Government agrees to March 15th as date for release of texts of notes exchanged February 17th and will give them to morning press of that date. Foreign Office sees no necessity for giving publicity to letters of confirmation likewise exchanged on February 17th and considers it might even be better not to release them since full powers referred to therein have not been exchanged; consequently only first note on general relations and the second on commercial relations will be released. I fully concur in this suggestion and will make no further representations to the Turkish Government unless otherwise instructed.
