The Acting Secretary of State to the High Commissioner in Turkey (Bristol)

[Paraphrase]

174. Your telegram 196 of October 7, 10 a.m. The recommendations in your telegram in general meet the views of the Department, which is led by the satisfactory settlement of the Fisher incident to hope that other outstanding questions may be solved by patient but persistent endeavor.

For the moment, certainly, pending the next meeting of the Turkish Assembly and until the situation in this country with respect to our Lausanne Treaty can be more accurately gauged by the Department, it would serve no useful purpose to make an immediate issue of the pending questions named by you. All of these questions the Department believes are susceptible of adjustment.
