The Minister in Siam (Neville) to the Secretary of State
[Received December 1—6:46 a.m.]
45. Department’s 39, November 30, 3 p.m. The Minister of Foreign Affairs told me this afternoon that the Siamese Government would give no publicity to the treaty until the Assembly had completed consideration of it, nor give the text to any one. I gave him orally the information contained in the last paragraph of the Department’s telegram and he said that he quite understood the Department’s position and had no desire to raise embarrassing constitutional questions in connection with the treaty.
The notes requested in the second paragraph of Department’s telegram will be forwarded on next air mail leaving here December 3d.
I shall be absent from Bangkok about a week beginning tonight visiting northern Siam.
