The Ambassador in Turkey (MacMurray) to the Secretary of State

63. In spite of the indications reported in my telegram No. 48, April 19, 4 p.m., the Embassy is now informed by a source in the Foreign Office that the discussions with the French concerning the annexation of the Hatay have reached a point at which only the “modalities” have still to be arranged and that the matter is expected to be concluded in the very near future perhaps within the week.

Repeated to Paris, Beirut.
