The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Bingham)

Washington, January 10, 1936—8 p.m.

8. Your No. 4, January 3. Please inform the Foreign Office in response to their informal note that this Government is sympathetic to and interested in the general possibility of a new international sugar agreement. The uncertainty recently created regarding governmental policy in the agricultural field7 makes it necessary, however, to postpone reply to the British communication. As soon as this uncertainty is ended, we will formulate our views.
