The Ambassador in Greece (MacVeagh) to the Secretary of State

Athens, December 8, 1945—noon.
[Received December 8—10:01 a.m.]

1425. From Grady Mission. ReEmbtel December 7.⁶⁰ FonMin last night handed us Government’s telegram same date to Washington correcting message December 4. States demand for March date attributable to British Government not observers but repeats reference to “request” for postponement.

Suggest any reply to Greek Ambassador state date entirely for Greek Government to decide as far as we concerned but early firm decision necessary if they wish us observe.

Sent Department as 1425 repeated London as 125 Paris as 26 and AmPolAd as 102. [Grady Mission.]
