The Minister in Egypt ( Kirk ) to the Secretary of State

Cairo , May 1, 1941—6 p.m.
[Received May 2—7:47 a.m.]

380. The Legation’s telegram No. 323, April 24, 9 a.m. The British Embassy made representations on April 28. I believe that the effectiveness of our representations and those of the British would be enhanced if the Legation could be authorized to communicate with the Foreign Office on the matter as soon as possible.
