861.77 Chinese Eastern/927
Memorandum by the Assistant to the Secretary of State (Beck)
Mr. Secretary: The French Ambassador, through his secretary, Mr. Henry, telephoned the following:
The Ambassador has received a cable from M. Briand this morning telling him to express his thanks to the Secretary of State for the steps he has taken in the Russian-Chinese conflict and that M. Briand is entirely of the view of Mr. Stimson; that he has told the Russian Ambassador and the Chinese Minister in Paris to come and talk with him this morning; that he will keep the Ambassador informed of the information if he has any and that he (M. Briand) is going to talk to them along the same lines as Secretary Stimson talked to the Chinese Minister on Thursday.92
The French Ambassador will therefore not come to the Department, as this will save the Secretary’s time.
