The Chargé in the United Kingdom (Johnson) to the Secretary of State

London, August 12, 1938—4 p.m.
[Received August 12—1:10 p.m.]

753. From Myron Taylor. The Dominican Government today made an offer in strict confidence to the Chairman of the Intergovernmental Committee to take immediately 50 to 100,000 involuntary emigrants and to provide facilities for their settlement. The British have instructed their diplomatic representative to make a report forthwith indicating whether the Dominican Government is in a position to implement its offer. It would be appreciated if our diplomatic representative at Ciudad Trujillo could do the same. [Taylor.]
