The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State
[Received 7:10 p.m.]
1269. From Delegate to Sugar Council. Dutch Delegate to Sugar Council called today to discuss prolongation of Agreement. He stated his view that agreement should be continued in present form until such time as participating countries make up their minds what form it should have for longer term future, and that he did not favor some temporary interim arrangement. He explained his inquiry as being in anticipation of discussions on the subject with interested British officials, and went on to ask the American attitude toward the question. He was informed (note Embassy’s 393, January 15, 7 p.m.) that there had been no change from the attitudes stated at the September 30 Council meeting. [Steere.]
