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

369. Minister’s 41, October 8 [7?], 3 p.m.12 Opinion in Geneva is that no meeting of Sino-Japanese Advisory Committee will be called at least before January Council meeting. Secretariat officials feel that League did its part adopting the Committee’s resolution condemning Japan and the Chinese think no useful purpose would be served by referring the matter back to the Committee when the Brussels Conference itself was unable to take more direct action. Hoo indicates that the present Chinese plan is to endeavor to obtain any possible aid from individual governments as a result of either joint all [or?] individual agreement and in the meantime to wait upon events.
