81 informed your emisares whc
came to me here Tuesday. that re

added, as representatives of that
state and as its chosen guardians
that we have any authority or
power to act on behalf of our peo-
pie
I asked them to warn you OF the
very serious effect of such para
graph and offered to regard the let
ter as not delivered to me in order
that you might have time to recon-
slider it. Despite this intimation you
have now published the letter in its

to YOU as soon as possible, but as |

clear that his majesty's government
cannot reconsider its position, which
have stated to you.
"If we accepted conference with
