The Minister in Switzerland ( Gibson ) to the Secretary of State

[Paraphrase]

18. Department’s No. 10, January 22, 5 p.m. Drummond tells me that so far no Government has requested postponement although there are indications that both France and Italy would welcome such action. He feels that the chances are slightly against postponement, and has promised to keep me fully and promptly informed of any developments.
