868.75/19: Telegram

The Chargé in Greece ( Aldridge ) to the Secretary of State

51. Department’s 30, June 4, 7 p.m. Instruction in paragraph (1) noted. I had already considered suggestion withdrawn, in view of my 48, June 4, 8 p.m., and 49, June 4, 11 p.m.

There is no reason to believe that Greek Government has gained impression mentioned in paragraph (2) of Department’s telegram.

[Paraphrase.] The concern of the Greek Minister of Communications (mentioned in my 41, May 28, 6 p.m.), I interpret now as only a gesture. [End paraphrase.]
