The Secretary of State to the Consul at Geneva (Gilbert)
93. Your 201, October 15, 10 a.m. The purpose of this Government in regard to your cooperation with the League is clearly defined, I think, in the opening statement you have been authorized to make at the Council meeting. Therefore, if you are invited to sit with the Committee of Five, I have no objection provided it is understood that your participation solely concerns the discussion of treaties to which [Page 199] this country is a party. It is the purpose of this Government to cooperate with the efforts of those who now are meeting at Geneva by whatever conference method is most appropriate to secure peace in Manchuria.
