The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in France (Edge)
[Paraphrase]
Washington, December 16, 1929—6
p.m.
409. Your telegram No. 562, December 14, 4 p.m. Considering Tardieu’s statement to Armour with reference to certain views held by the French subordinate staff (Embassy’s telegram No. 555, December 11, 11 a.m.), it was my feeling that Massigli’s views were not necessarily in conformity with those of Tardieu, and I hope that you will soon find opportunity to arrange for Gibson to go with you to see Tardieu, at which time Gibson’s experience at Geneva with these intricacies may prove helpful.
