Foreign Relations of the United States, Diplomatic Papers, 1933, General, Volume I

500.A15A4 General Committee/212: Telegram

The Acting Chairman of the American Delegation (Gibson) to the Secretary of State

Geneva, March 17, 1933—7 p.m.
[Received March 17—3:20 p.m.]

574. My 569, March 17, noon. Part II, section II, chapter II, Naval Armaments.

We feel that this whole chapter can best be considered in Washington, and that there is no light we can throw on it by comment from Geneva.

Part V—Miscellaneous Provisions.

The provisions of this entire section (with the exception of article 96) in their present or similar form have been accepted either by the Preparatory Commission, the Conference or the Bureau, and would therefore seem to call for no comment. We invite special attention to the effect of article 96.
