The Secretary of State to the Consul at Geneva (Gilbert)
[Paraphrase]
Washington, October 27, 1931—7
p.m.
119. Your 257, October 26, 1 p.m. You should continue maintaining contact with Drummond and exchanging with him, under the same conditions as heretofore as to confidence, such information on developments in and respecting the China-Japan matter as may appear to be of significance.
In the interim preceding the Council’s reconvening, it is suggested that unless data information seems to be of peculiar significance or timeliness, it may be forwarded by mail rather than by telegram.
