The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State
London, October 23, 1945—6 p.m.
[Received October 23—1:05 p.m.]

11094. From Dunn. Re Department’s 9321, October 22. The Ambassador has spoken to me about your message to Foreign Secretary. I do hope you could agree to leave off the last paragraph of the message when it is conveyed to Mr. Bevin67 as I am afraid otherwise it will be extremely difficult for him to obtain the concurrence of the Cabinet which as you recall is directly interested in this question and strongly opposed to the acceptance of the purely advisory function of the Commission. It seems to me that text you state you could agree to, speaks for itself. [Dunn.]

Winant
  1. In telegram 9344, October 23, 5 p.m., to London, the Department agreed to this suggestion (740.00119 FEAC/10–2345).↩
