The Ambassador in Turkey ( MacMurray ) to the Secretary of State
[Received November 6—3:02 p.m.]
5. Under Secretary of National Economy has informed Commercial Attaché that the Turkish Government desires to enter into negotiations for a commercial treaty along the lines of those previously concluded by you.
Commercial Attaché, who had consulted with me in anticipation of such a suggestion, assured him that any Turkish proposal would receive your sympathetic consideration. I beg to request such instructions as you may have to give me with a view to the formal proposal which the Turkish Foreign Office will probably present to me in the near future.
