711.5112 France/96: Circular telegram
The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Great Britain ( Houghton )4
An English translation of the proposal which Briand submitted to me last June reads as follows:
[Here follows the text of the draft pact of perpetual friendship contained in telegram No. 260, June 22, 1927, from the Chargé in France, printed in Foreign Relations, 1927, volume II, page 615.]
Please deliver to the Foreign Office for the consideration of the Government to which you are accredited a memorandum containing the foregoing text and the text of my reply5 which was telegraphed to you in the Department’s circular, December 28, 8 p.m.
- The same telegram was sent to the Embassies in Germany, Italy, and Japan.↩
