227. Although it would appear from the Baghdad Legation’s telegram to the Department No. 120, December 17 that the Turkish Government does not contemplate further action vis-à-vis the Government of Iraq, I should appreciate instructions for my guidance in the event that the Minister for Foreign Affairs should wish to discuss with me any aspect of the Department’s suggestion of a joint démarche in this matter (my telegram No. 220, December 14).
MacMurray
