The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in France (Edge) 25
Sir: I enclose copies, as listed below,26 of correspondence between the Department and the British Embassy at Washington, relative to a proposal of the British Government to grant a preference to Palestinian products. I enclose also paraphrases of an exchange of telegrams with the American Chargé d’Affaires ad interim at London, from whose reply, dated August 3, 1932, it will be apparent that the Government to which you are accredited has also been consulted in this matter.
If you perceive no objection thereto, you may bring the contents of my note of August 27, 1932, informally to the attention of appropriate French officials, at the same time endeavoring to obtain information on the attitude of the French Government toward the British proposal.
Very truly yours,
- The same, mutatis mutandis, on the same date to the Ambassadors in Brazil (No. 1777), Italy (No. 729), and Spain (No. 346).↩
