(Previous
Reference: Cabinet 31
(28), Oon- clusion 9.)
9. The Cabinet had before them a Memorandum
by the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Secretary
of State for War and the Secretary of State for
Air Paper C.P.-173 (28)) suggesting that in all
countries involved in the Great War the general
feeling would probably be in favour of discontinu-
ing the placing of wreaths on foreign War Memorials
and official participation in such ceremonies
abroad; proposing that November 11, 1928, the
10th anniversary of the Armistice, should be the
last occasion of such participation; and asking
that this country should take the initiative now
and propose a definite agreement on these lines
through diplomatic channels.
The Cabinet agreed
That no action should be taken at the present time.
