[Received September 7—2:08 p.m.]

1502. Your 813, September 6, 6 p.m.8 The Department’s inquiry was discussed informally at the Foreign Office today. They hope in [Page 238] the immediate future to be in a position to exchange views with us. It was stated informally, however, that in the last analysis the position that Great Britain would have to take will, in view of existing circumstances, have to depend on what the position of the United States is to be.
