The Ambassador to the Greek Government in Exile (MacVeagh) to the Secretary of State

Cairo, May 23, 1944—6 p.m.
[Received May 24—1:10 p.m.]

Greek 168. My Greek 166, May 22, 6 p.m. Mr. Papandreou has been entrusted with the formation of the Government of National Unity. It is reported that the number of portfolios which seems certain to be large and their apportionment among the various parties and organizations was clearly settled at the last meeting of the conference. As the delegates are now all in Cairo it is believed that Papandreou will complete his task very shortly.
