The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Great Britain (Harvey)
[Paraphrase]
Washington, September 3,
1921—noon.
523. Your 721 of September 2. Will assume that there will be four delegates. Would it be possible, in Curzon’s absence, to obtain authoritative suggestions regarding agenda? The Japanese Government expects that the question will be considered shortly as they desire definitely to know the scope of the agenda by September 15, as their delegation must leave by October 1. I had intended soon to make informal suggestions and desire, if practicable, to be able to obtain British Government’s views.
