861.77 Chinese Eastern/677
Memorandum by the Secretary of State
The Polish Minister brought me a message from his Foreign Minister in regard to the Russian-Chinese message; that he did not get my message until several days after the announcement of the settlement of the Russian-Chinese difficulty and thought that therefore it would be unwise now to convey it, but that he wanted to tell me how much they agreed with our sending of the message and how much good they thought that it would accomplish and he spoke very frankly about the character of the Russian reply and how it would damage the aspirations of Russia in connection with this country.
He felicitated me on the fact that he thought this had produced great beneficial effect towards the purpose of the Kellogg Pact and told me that Poland would be ready to act accordingly on any other occasion.
