The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Kennedy)
1094. The following telegram has been sent by Mr. Todd through his office in London to Sir John Campbell:
“We reiterate our request September 12th urgent unrestricted production be instituted at once for fourth quarter. Survey indicates U. S. consumption will approximate 30,000 gross tons during fourth quarter this year and loss of one large cargo would have disastrous effect on American production. Furthermore American consumers should be permitted to build up reserves due to war emergency and should be given opportunity to acquire brands desired by them. Consider it imperative produce as much Straits Tin as possible regardless attitude other signatory countries.”
