1. My 614, December 30, 7 p.m. I have requested both Herriot and Clémentel to say nothing about the latter’s note, and believe it may be advisable, considering nature of proposal, for Department to regard it as confidential.
Detailed newspaper rumor has already appeared in regard to the note, but I believe that this is attributable to source which has since been stopped. I am informing press correspondents that there is no new development.
