The Ambassador in France (Edge) to the Secretary of State
[Received December 16—9:15 a.m.]
893. I saw Briand this morning and conveyed to him the message contained in your 648, December 11, 4 p.m. I also left with him copies of the excerpts from President’s messages and of your statement.
He asked me to express his great appreciation of your cooperation throughout the whole negotiations. He expressed great satisfaction that the value of the Briand-Kellogg Pact had been vindicated.
In answer to my question he said he did not think there was anything further to be done at present. The Chinchow situation he thought had improved and he is hopeful that the direct negotiations between Japanese and Chinese will be successful.
