The Minister in Switzerland (Wilson) to the Secretary of State

Geneva, September 28, 1932—10 p.m.
[Received September 28—6:10 p.m.]

10. Yen has written Secretary General letter dated 26th which refers to Council’s decision concerning Lytton report and requests convocation of Assembly Committee of Nineteen to consider the duration of the extension of 6 months’ period in accordance with resolution of July 1st.80 Also insists that Committee of Nineteen take steps to prevent Japan from aggravating the situation in the meantime.

Drummond says they will summon Committee of Nineteen for a public session on Friday81 as the request seems reasonable. The Committee will probably explain to Yen why a definite duration cannot now be fixed but he does not know what line will be taken on preventing Japan from aggravating the situation.
