550.S1 Economic Commission/91: Telegram
The Consul at Geneva (Gilbert) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 4—11:55 a.m.]
213. 1. Colijn has asked me if he can be furnished at an early date with the answer to the inquiry conveyed in my September 30, 11 a.m., as he wishes to formulate his recommendations as soon as possible.
Point (a) in my 207 is now seen as affording two alternatives; (1) the producers to act entirely on their own initiative; (2) the producers to be convoked by official action.
2. In the same general manner as applied to copper Colijn has been conducting inquiries respecting timber, dairy products, coal and shipping subsidies. If the Department desires information by telegraph on any of these points please instruct.
