262. Your 382, May 31, 10 a.m. As you realize, this decree if enforced would raise the whole question of extraterritorial rights in Ethiopia and of the treaties conferring those rights on certain foreign Powers. Under the circumstances please keep the Department promptly and fully informed of any instructions which your colleagues may seek or receive concerning this decree as well as any steps which may be taken to enforce it.
