The Acting Secretary of State to the Chargé in the United Kingdom (Johnson)

3527. Your 3762, November 16 and 3779, November 18. In view of the information regarding the alleged attitude of the Dutch delegates, you are requested to bring to the attention of the appropriate Dutch authorities, through the American Chargé d’Affaires to the Dutch Government, the position of this Government as outlined in our 3487 of November 15.

The Rubber Reserve Company adheres to the desirability of the proposals embodied in our 3487 and is fully convinced of the necessity for such action which it is confident Hay will also confirm to the British Government and the International Rubber Regulation Committee.
