to try and get rid of all removable causes of friction. There 
      are, alas, so many causes which are not easily removable E.G. 
      deep-seated cleavages due to ideological convictions and ultra-nationalistic 
      sentiments, that we are the more bound to do what lies within 
      our power to get rid of those that are removable. But to do so 
      means looking facts in the face and this we have attempted to 
      do in the present agreement. Our hope is that we may get more 
      than is written into the protocol and agreements, through a genuine 
      improvement in the relations between the two countries, and by 
      a real cooperation between them which may lead to better things 
      in the future.
 
      
 
 
Should the President share these views I need hardly say how 
      grateful both the Prime Minister and myself would be should he 
      feel able to give some public indication of his approval of the 
      agreement itself and of the principles which have inspired it.
