The Consul at Geneva (Gilbert) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 26—11:20 a.m.]
257. The situation here reverts now to that prevailing in the period from September 30, the day the regular sessions of the Council adjourned, until October 13, the day the Council reconvened.
During this period, it will be recalled, acting under your instructions, I kept contact with Drummond, transmitted to you what information he gave me regarding the current situation involving China and Japan, and furnished him certain military information for his use, but which he was to regard as strictly confidential as to source.
I request instructions concerning the relations which you wish me to maintain here at this time.
Referring particularly to the so-called military information transmitted by me, I have sent you everything which I have obtained from “neutral sources” and all of any apparent significance from Chinese and Japanese sources. It has occurred to me that you may be receiving much of this material from American sources or from some of the diplomatic missions at Washington. In view of this, your special instructions on this point would be appreciated.
