The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Great Britain ( Dawes )

230. Your 246, August 27, 3 p.m. Consular Corps at Jerusalem have informed their respective governments that in spite of reiterated requests no special protection has been accorded consulates and it has been impossible to secure the presence of an agent of the public force at the doors of the Consulates. You should urgently bring this situation to the attention of the Foreign Office and you should request that suitable measures for the protection of the American Consulate General be taken with the least possible delay.
