504. Your August 20, 7 p.m. Sir Edward Grey informs me that a special committee has been appointed to deal with all cases in [Page 309] their merits regarding the release of grain cargoes diverted to England. This committee is communicating with various representatives of American shippers and will be ready to hear any other such representatives as desire to approach them. It will sit daily at the board of trade and all communications respecting it should be addressed to its secretary, H. C. Money, Harbor Department, Board of Trade. No difficulty is anticipated in regard to the release of cargoes about which the question of prize does not arise.
