The Acting Secretary of State to the Chairman of the American Delegation ( Miller ) and the Alternate Chairman ( Hackworth )
Washington
, February 27,
1930.
Gentlemen: In addition to your formal instructions, I want to give you one private one.
As at present advised, we do not expect the delegates to sign conventions and you will regard it as an instruction not to sign a convention without prior cable authorization.
Sincerely yours,
