The Secretary of State to the Consul at Jerusalem ( Wadsworth )
Following is text of telegram of August 27 from American Ambassador at London:
“Foreign Office states that the High Commissioner in Palestine has been instructed to extend to the American Senators every practicable courtesy but that the question of their freedom to travel in the country is one entirely in the discretion of the High Commissioner himself.”
In this connection, and with particular reference to the final sentence of the Department’s August 22, 3 p.m., you will, of course, appreciate that the Department has expressed neither approval nor disapproval of the unofficial mission on which the Senators are engaged.
