The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Kennedy)

1415. Your 2297, November 7. For the Delegates to the International Sugar Council.

The Department perceives no objection in principle to the proposed revised budget for the International Sugar Council but is confident of course that the delegates will carefully scrutinize the detailed arrangements involved. It should furthermore be made clear that the acceptance by this Government of this revision implies no commitment of any kind as to the attitude which may be assumed in the light of future developments relative to the maintenance of the Council during the war and that this Government neither waives nor limits the exercise of any of its rights under the agreement and especially under articles 51 (e) and 51 (f) thereof.
