The Secretary of State to the Consul General at Geneva (Tittmann)
Washington, January
20, 1940—1 p.m.
6. Your No. 6, January 18, 5 p.m. The Department entirely approves your efforts to discourage the League Secretariat with regard to the advisability of your presence at The Hague at the time of the meetings of the Organizing Committee. We do not feel that it is [Page 310] either desirable or necessary that anyone from the Consulate proceed to The Hague for this purpose.
