The Acting Secretary of State to the Syrian Chargé (Zurayk)
Sir: The receipt is acknowledged of your notes of May 25 and May 30, 194529 in which you bring to the attention of the Government of the United States the seriousness of the situation in Syria.
This Government has followed recent events in Syria with deep concern, and, as you are now aware, it used its influence with a view to preventing a situation from arising which would result in disorders. When disorders and loss of life unfortunately occurred, it immediately took action looking to the restoration of order. I assure you that this Government will continue its efforts for the realization of a just and peaceful settlement compatible with the independence of Syria.
