The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Great Britain ( Atherton )
101. For Norman Davis. Your 109, May 8, and 112, May 9. The wording of the revised draft is acceptable.
You will of course make clear that you are not binding the position of this Government in advance in regard to all changes that one or another country may make under the reservation made by reference to part 1 (b), subsection 2 of the experts report. This joint statement by the Governments would be a declaration of general principle and intention and it would rest with each Government to act fairly in accord with its spirit. It seems to the Department to be in harmony with the fundamental purposes of the Economic Conference.
The Department was glad that the chances of putting through this truce have improved and hopes that a meeting of the Organizing Committee can be arranged at once.
