The Consul at Geneva (Gilbert) to the Secretary of State

Geneva, May 25, 1934—2 p.m.
[Received May 26—8:55 a.m.]

95. Japanese Consul General here informs me that he has received official notification from his Government of Salvador’s recognition of “Manchukuo”. He states that he understands that thus far this is the only act of any Government which Tokyo construes as constituting formal recognition (Consulate’s 858 Political, March 28,²⁷ page 5).

It may be noted incidentally that Salvador was not represented in the extraordinary Assembly which on February 24, 1933, voted on the nonrecognition recommendations.
