Senator William E. Borah to the Secretary of State
My Dear Mr. Secretary: I have your letter of December 8th relative to the Treaties concluded between the United States and Turkey on August 6, 1923.
I have already made some inquiry among the Members of the Committee relative to taking up these Treaties. I find considerable opposition and I doubt if we shall be able to do anything with them before the holidays. I hope, however, to bring them up for consideration at the next meeting after the session on Thursday.
I have not myself concluded my study of these Treaties and cannot express a view, but I am thoroughly in sympathy with the proposition of disposing of them. I see no reason why longer delay should be had.
Very respectfully,
