The Chargé in the United Kingdom (Johnson) to the Secretary of State

London, October 15, 1937—1 p.m.
[Received October 15—9:08 a.m.]

650. Brussels’ 86, October 14, 6 p.m. The Foreign Office informs me that Baron Guillaume is now in consultation with them as to ways and means. It cannot be yet officially stated that the Belgians will accept the proposal but Foreign Office says there is every reason to believe they will. It will be very much appreciated by the Foreign Office if the Department can telegraph immediately how soon after the invitations are issued the American delegation can arrive. If the Belgians are to issue the invitation they desire to name a specific date.99
