The Diplomatic Agent and Consul General at Tangier ( Denning ) to the Secretary of State
[Received 10:10 p.m.]
Announcement made in morning press that port adjudication to be postponed for a short time.
I am reliably informed that the French diplomatic agent was instructed by his Government on November 6 to notify the representative of the Sultan at Tangier, who is the President of the Adjudication Commission, to postpone the port concession until further notice. There was no explanation.
The British agent also received a telegram which stated that Poincaré had agreed to postpone the port adjudication until after the Lausanne conference as a result of Lord Curzon’s personal plea.
