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

154. Department’s 148, April 12, 8 p.m. Have you presented this aide-mémoire and made any further presentation of the American case? Department’s information is that present moment may be opportune.

If Campbell seems unwilling at least to modify position, have you any suggestions as to alternative method of securing shift of British position? Should matter be carried to Prime Minister again. Should our position be explained to the press?
