The Secretary of State to the Acting Chairman of the American Delegation (Gibson)
Washington, March 10,
1933—5 p.m.
298. Your 559, March 9, 1 p.m. and 561, March 9, 8 p.m. I am asking Grew, if he is in a position discreetly to obtain any elucidation of the Japanese stand on the Conference, to telegraph promptly. It might be useful for you to suggest to Simon that he send similar instructions to Lindley.55 I agree with you that until the Japanese position is thoroughly clarified we must exert especial caution.
