The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Great Britain (Dawes)
Washington, September 12, 1929—5
p.m.
245. The last sentence of our 24355 may be capable of misinterpretation. It is not our conception that the Prime Minister come over to discuss and try to end the points of difference between our naval board and your [his?] Admiralty which are the subject of our 243. These points of difference can best be dealt with, we think, at the conference. We think it would simply cloud the Prime Minister’s visit if it were to be turned into a technical conference.
