740.0011 Moscow/19: Telegram
The Acting Secretary of State to the Chargé in the Soviet Union (Hamilton)
980. Your telegram No. 1587, Oct. 11, 10 a.m. There has been no announcement that the Three-Power Conference is to be held in Moscow and no announcement that the Secretary is heading our delegation. The British Embassy had informed us that it had been jointly agreed with the Soviet Government that no announcement would be made until the arrival at Moscow of the British and American delegations. We concurred in this arrangement and are therefore at a loss to understand the statements published in the British Daily Bulletin.
