The Ambassador in France (Straus) to the Secretary of State

Paris, October 30, 1935—noon.
[Received October 30—8:20 a.m.]

929. Reference my despatches numbers 2250 and 2266 of October 18 and 29.³⁸ As a result of the Embassy’s representations just prior to the Cabinet meeting yesterday morning, the Foreign Office has now informed me that the Cabinet definitely decided not to issue the projected decree law for regulation of the moving picture industry.

This means that the matter can only arise again if projects for legislation on this subject come before Parliament when it meets.

Straus

38. Despatch No. 2266, October 29, not printed.
