British Chargé d’Affaires informs me his Government has not specifically advised him of American Government’s note contained in the Department’s August 30, 4 p.m. but that the British Government has instructed him to support the representations made by American Government regarding Siberian railways. In this connection British Chargé d’Affaires has requested me if possible to show him text. Please instruct.³⁴
