123 G 861/296: Telegram
The High Commissioner in Turkey (Bristol) to the Secretary of State
[Received 11:53 a.m.]
36. The following is a translation from the French of a telegram just received direct from Tewfik Rouschdy [Bey]:
“I have the honor to inform Your Excellency that my Government is giving with pleasure its agrément to the designation of the Honorable Joseph C. Grew as Ambassador of the United States of America at Angora.”
This in reply to my personal request made May 16th in Angora.
[Paraphrase.] The Government of Turkey evidently gave this information to its official news agency for publication, since an announcement of Mr. Grew’s selection appeared yesterday in the local papers.
Am I authorized officially to announce the appointment of Mr. Grew? [End paraphrase.]
