With reference to the arrangement for evacuation of children from Hungary and Rumania through Turkey, mentioned in your 8095, November 19, we have received no information indicating that the Turkish Government is considering a reversal of its original decision. Please keep Department fully advised on such matters. Department concurs in your suggestion concerning Greek refugees escaping into Turkey.

Department agrees that it is advisable for the United States and British Governments to present jointly to the Director of the Intergovernmental Committee such projects as the two Governments consider practicable for the rescue and maintenance of refugees.
