107. I have had a personal assurance from the Prime Minister that “the matter of rubber has now been taken up” in the light of what I said to him as reported in my No. 88, March 2, 4 p.m.
I feel with the above assurance any further representations would but weaken our position.
An aide-mémoire based on Department’s 86, March 6, 9 p.m. was discussed with the Foreign Office yesterday who after consulting Colonial Office stated orally no rubber restriction agreement has been signed by producers’ committee to date.
