The Ambassador in Turkey (Grew) to the Secretary of State
[Received 8:05 p.m.]
12. Department’s 49, September 27, 5 p.m. The Turks have accepted the Department’s redraft of article 3, paragraph (b), subheaded [subheading 2?] reading “bounties or subsidies of any kind,” and will sign the treaty provided I permit the inclusion of a statement in the minutes amplifying “bounties or subsidies of any kind.”
I am endeavoring to overcome the inclusion of this amplification, and hope to obtain the assent of the Turks tomorrow to sign the treaty without further declarations in the minutes.
If I obtain the complete assent of Turks to the treaty and minutes as finally approved by the Department in its telegram No. 49, September 27, 5 p.m., and unless I receive instructions to the contrary I shall sign the treaty Tuesday, October 1.
After further reflection I have arrived at the conclusion that article 3, paragraph (c), should not be omitted from the treaty.
