The Acting Secretary of State to the Chairman of the American Delegation ( Stimson )
[Paraphrase]
Washington

22, 1930—11 a.m.
131. Being somewhat disturbed, we desire that your feeling about the Conference be made known to us more fully. There is undoubtedly a waning of public interest here. While this may be inevitable and perhaps should not bother us, there is a strong feeling here that nothing is being done to keep down the levels which in every category being considered by the Conference are terribly high. I regret to have to bother you, but more frequent reports are needed.
