The Chargé in Egypt ( Childs ) to the Secretary of State

58. Department’s telegram No. 37, September 30, 5 p.m. The position of the Department having been set forth to the Judicial Adviser last week upon request it was decided that I should see the Minister of Justice this morning. The latter stated that the Egyptian Government would appreciate receiving either verbally or in writing at the earliest convenience of the American Government the name or names of candidates for the post as Judge of the Mixed Courts made vacant by Crabitès’ retirement. It was added that the Egyptian Government was completely assured regarding the suitability of those whom the American Government might propose. The Egyptian Government would be pleased to receive the names of nominees as soon as possible but it is suggested that the Department may find it desirable to await my air despatch No. 800 of October 15th.17
