The Secretary of State to the Consul General at Jerusalem ( Knabenshue )

[Paraphrase]

Felix M. Warburg yesterday called at the Department, but he said nothing of the matter reported in your September 19, 7 p.m., which at the time of his visit had not yet been received. In view of this, the Department will take no initiative in communicating to him the results of the informal conversation you had with the British High Commissioner.

You will please refer to the Department any request received to assist in obtaining representation for American-Jewish interests in regard to the forthcoming inquiry by the British commission.
