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

59. Department’s 34, June 24, 1 p.m. This morning I submitted note to Foreign Minister summing up position of Legation. I indicated that so far as I was aware no action had been taken to date to meet extended representations made under Department’s instructions. I added that all representations made since the time that unfavorable and unexpected decision was taken by Mr. Christomanos a few hours before Mr. Durham’s arrival, were undertaken with a view to avoiding unfortunate impression mentioned in Department’s 29, June 1, 1 p.m.

Foreign Minister promised to send copies immediately to Prime Minister and Minister of Communications.

I am holding Department’s 34, June 24, 1 p.m., in reserve for the moment.

Aldridge
