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

Geneva, October 14, 1931—1 p.m.
[Received October 14—11:10 a.m.]

197. Sze called on me this morning and said that statements were emanating from various quarters that China was negotiating directly with Japan or was willing to undertake such negotiations. He asked me if I would transmit to you his categorical denial of such statements or such intentions on the part of China.
