The Ambassador in Great Britain (Harvey) to the Secretary of State
[Received September 2—2:43 p.m.]
721. Curzon is away for a 6–weeks vacation. The queries in your 511 of August 29 appear to be covered in interview reported in my 705 of August 26. He indicated clearly that any number of delegates [Page 66] you suggest would be acceptable which beyond a doubt includes four. I made it very clear that five or six would be acceptable to you. Curzon thus had full opportunity, if he desired, to provide for Dominion representation. I do not see how your position on that point could be safeguarded more thoroughly. Briefly I see no reason why you cannot proceed as per your 511 with British Government’s assured acquiescence.
