The Chargé in France (Armour) to the Secretary of State

[Paraphrase]

338. Referring to my telegram 329 of October 25. I am informed by the French Foreign Office that instructions have been given the French Ambassador, Peretti, who is returning to Madrid, to consult his American and British colleagues there and to report regarding the advisability of recourse to arbitration. The French Government apparently is ready to adopt this course unless Peretti offers an objection to it. The foregoing is being mailed to the Madrid Embassy.
