The Consul at Geneva (Gilbert) to the Secretary of State

Geneva, November 21, 1932—3 p.m.
[Received November 21—1:30 p.m.]

328. Lytton report considered in Council meeting this morning. With the exception of the President who gave a brief résumé of status of the question the only speaker was the Japanese representative who reiterated substantially the arguments contained in the printed observations of Japanese Government, a document comprising 39 foolscap pages circulated by the Secretariat yesterday. Copies are being forwarded by mail.25 Consider it probable that the Department has already received the text of the Japanese observations from a Japanese source. If not, and summary is desired, please instruct.
