The Ambassador in France (Herrick) to the Secretary of State

[Paraphrase]

215. Reference to Department’s telegram 159 of May 19. In conversation at Foreign Office today question of Syrian mandate was brought up. I was told that at early date our Government would receive proposals.

Mention was made of Palestine mandate, but there was not the least indication that French Government might raise opposition.
