The Ambassador in Turkey ( MacMurray ) to the Secretary of State

Ankara , December 9, 1938—1 p.m.
[Received December 9—8:45 a.m.]

63. Your telegram No. 29, December 7, noon. Foreign Office some weeks ago requested for the proposed nationality arrangement approval of the Ministry of the Interior which has full jurisdiction in the matter and it has now requested that the decision be expedited. I understand that there seems to be no opposition to the proposal and that the necessary bureaucratic action may probably be taken within fortnight or so.

MacMurray
