The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Great Britain (Bingham)
Washington, August 28,
1933—4 p.m.
224. For Murphy from Wallace. Although we are making public announcement today that we will require our farmers to make 15 per cent acreage cut, we can still reduce that requirement to 10 per cent or less at any time until the wheat is actually planted. Use this fact as you see fit in your further negotiations.
We are making no announcement on our exports pending completion of your negotiations. [Wallace.]
