[Received April 12—9:25 a.m.]
91. Message has just been telephoned from French Foreign Office to add following to Briand’s message which was transmitted last night:
Briand requests, so that there be no room for any possible misunderstanding on part of the other four powers, that when our note of submission and its enclosures are delivered to said powers the Department will also communicate to them the substance of its No. 102, April 10, 3 p.m., to this Embassy; that is to say, Briand [Page 27] wishes us to inform the four other powers of the definite understanding which the Department communicated to him, on basis of which he has agreed to procedure contemplated by Department.
Briand also requests that Department inform him of date when it proposes to make the aforesaid communication to the other four powers.
