The Secretary of State to the Consul at Geneva (Gilbert)
40. Your 100, April 12, 4 p.m. Inform Stoppani6 and Loveday that this Government is as interested as ever in as promptly as possible arranging conversations between wheat exporting countries. In accordance with the suggestion put forward by Stoppani in your 91 of March 30,7 this Government is agreeable to the idea of arranging at once for a meeting of experts of the four or more exporting countries in Geneva or elsewhere, as a continuation of work already initiated by the Economic Committee.
This Government has discussed the matter with the Canadian Government and believes that the Canadian Government is ready to participate in such a meeting. Its information from Argentina and from Australia while not final is to the same effect.
If the League issued invitations for such conversations, the American Government would be glad to invite the representatives from Canada, Australia and Argentina to stop in the United States on their way to Geneva if that were convenient.
Ask Stoppani whether it is not his judgment that it would be advisable to have one or more representatives of the Danubian States present at the conference arranged by the League.
