The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Great Britain ( Bingham )
Washington
, June
21, 1934—6 p.m.
256. [For Davis.] Your 336, June 19, 6 p.m., paragraph 3. The Navy has called our attention to the fact that the wording of your parenthesis reading “except we should keep the present tonnage in aircraft carriers” omits mention of cruisers, which in the tables of percentage reduction accompanying General Board memorandum of June 4 are assimilated to aircraft carriers in this respect.
