5110. Baeyens has just telephoned to say Massigli has heard that British Cabinet will “pronounce itself” on principle and timing of Chinese Communist recognition week beginning December 12. French Embassy Washington instructed request our views. Baeyens feels this timing leaves narrow margin for consultation.

Sent Department 5110, repeated London 894.
