1225. Your 1284, Aug. 4. We would regard raising of question at this juncture in Sub-Commission as unfortunate and we desire that you exert every effort as discreetly as possible to prevent it. If nevertheless question is raised in Sub-Commission inform Dept. and instructions in matter will be sent.
