The Consul at Geneva (Gilbert) to the Secretary of State
[Received March 6—12:30 p.m.]
38. Legation Vienna, No. 35, February 27, 1 p.m.18 The Austrian Government has not yet approached the League in any way and there are no further indications of its intention to do so (Consulate’s No. 30, February 16, 3 p.m.18).
The League official estimate is that Austria’s coming to Geneva becomes less probable and that particularly in view of the present Italian position as interpreted here Vienna in any event will not make any démarche at Geneva until after the projected tripartite conversations with Hungary and Italy.
