The Chargé in France (Marriner) to the Secretary of State
[Received November 29—5:40 p.m.]
679. From Norman Davis. I have just learned that Mr. MacDonald and Sir John Simon are leaving Thursday97 and expect to arrive in Geneva on Friday morning. Previous to this Simon had informed me in writing that the Prime Minister had told him that when he went to Geneva he would like an opportunity to discuss with the representatives of the other principal powers the situation in regard to the proposed world economic conference and Simon has so informed von Neurath, Paul-Boncour, and Aloisi. He stated that he [Page 487] was doing this “so that we may be all prepared for some discussion on the subject”.
I plan to return to Geneva tomorrow, Wednesday, night. [Davis.]
