FOREIGN OFFIC”.

September 2nd 1919.

Dear Fiddes,

With reference to your letter to Spicer of

the 14th ultimo, relative to the continued absence

from Vladivostock of Sir C.Eliot, I am now able to

tell you that Sir C.Eliot has been appointed Ambas-

sador at Tokio.

I should be grateful if you will keep this

information confidential until the appointment is published, as we have not yet received the agrément of the Japanese Government.

pr. unicens

Sir G.Fiddes G.O.M.G., C.B.
