The Department of State to the British Embassy
Aide-Mémoire
The Department refers to the last paragraph of the British Embassy’s aide-mémoire of January 26 on the subject of withdrawal of diplomatic and military establishments in north China, to the Department’s aide-mémoire of January 29 on the same subject, and to previous recent exchanges of communications on the same subject.
The Department requests that the British Embassy ask the British Foreign Office to be so good as to inform the French Government of the contents of the Department’s aide-mémoire of January 29 and to discuss with the French Government questions of reciprocal interest to the British and the French Governments in the light of that communication from the American Government to the British Government.
