Washington, July 24, 1929—5
p.m.
189. President and I are most anxious to have a check-up on accuracy of our figures regarding British cruiser strength as contained in Department’s telegram No. 182, July 21, 7 p.m., before you confer with Gibson and MacDonald on Monday. We find it difficult to make any suggestions or plans until this matter has been cleared up.
