The Ambassador in Great Britain (Harvey) to the Secretary of State

634. My 570 July 9, 12 noon.55 I received last evening the following note from Lord Curzon dated August 1st:

[“]My dear Ambassador: You will remember that I twice mentioned to you the subject of the Asiatic mandates and have sought, to obtain from you a statement of the criticisms or objections which your Government is understood to desire to raise. The matter is one of some urgency since the Council of the League of Nations has pressed us to give them an answer before the meeting of the Assembly at the beginning of September. On the other hand your Government having formally placed on record its protest may be assumed to have already formulated its objections.”56
