The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Great Britain (Dawes)
105. Your 119, April 24, 3 p.m. I have been informed by our Legation at Ottawa that the Canadian Government is in the process of transmitting an official invitation to this Government to participate in this Conference. It is hoped that a decision in regard to this matter will be reached next week and an official reply forwarded to the Canadian Government. When this is done I shall telegraph you in order that you may informally advise Mr. Ferguson of the decision which has been reached. It is my desire that any communications in regard to this matter with London should pass through the Embassy and this Department.
