The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Great Britain (Bingham)

227. For Murphy from Wallace. I assume that you will remember that you are not authorized to enter into any final commitment for this [Page 825] Government as to acreage or export which differs from those proposals that you have already presented to the Department in your cables of June 30 and August 26. I assume that you will submit any material changes to us for judgment.

The general agreement which you initialled on August 25 did not specifically deal with the matter of acreage reduction. [Wallace.]
