[Received August 28—10:15 a.m.]

22. Department’s telegraphic instruction No. 11, August 24, 2 p.m.62 Difficulties foreshadowed in my telegram No. 21, August 23, 1 p.m., are arising in acute form. Greatest caution advisable. Am consequently taking no action in matter of acceptance of oil dahir pending developments. Have under consideration and will shortly submit for Department’s approval formula under which dahir may be accepted without any breach of neutrality on our part.
