     I said, however, that this telegram of the King's might well be considered canceled by his
subsequent action and that I believed that he, the Ambassador, should consult the Belgian Prime
Minister and the other members of the Belgian Government who are now in the Belgian Embassy
in Paris with regard to the future plans of the Royal children.  It might even be that the Belgian
Government would desire to proclaim the Crown Prince King.
     In any event after the Belgian Government should have decided what it considered wise
the Belgian Prime Minister accompanied by him, the Ambassador, should call on the French Prime
Minister and should obtain the full assent of the French Government to future plans for the Royal
children.
