The Chargé in France (Shaw) to the Secretary of State
[Received December 9—1:05 p.m.]
865. From Ambassador Dawes: Your 636, December 8, 7 p.m. The Council expects the Japanese to acquiesce in its resolution and has considered no possible action in the event of a refusal by Japan. In Drummond’s opinion, if the Japanese do not agree to the resolution, the first act would be a vote on the resolution and then would follow speeches by individual members of the Council. He anticipates no collective statement by the members in the unexpected event of no agreement by the Japanese to the resolution.
Regarding a possible advance on Chinchow by the Japanese, again the Council has not determined upon what action, if any, it would take. [Dawes.]
