Geneva, 5 March 1932
Estero Dublin.
51. After hearing many speeches today and having regard to changed situation as well as atmosphere here both agree I request authority to make careful statement in general discussion emphasising principle of Covenant Articles ten and twelve and Pact of Paris avoiding pre-judgment of merits of dispute. Decision on Wednesday or Thursday may be too late as general discussion will have ended. Our contribution on the line suggested appears to be necessary.
Lester
