The Secretary of State to the Acting Chairman of the American Delegation (Gibson)
125. London’s cable 198, June 8, 5 p.m., a copy of which has been sent to you puts an entirely new aspect upon the situation which has arisen out of your interview with Baldwin and Simon. Evidently no comprehensive proposal has been agreed upon by the British Government and none will be made which contains the radical features reported to me from your interview in London. Under these circumstances it is doubly important not only that we should not put out any counter-proposal but that you should be doubly cautious not to permit any of the elements of my 122, June 7, noon, to become known without further authority from here. Please be extremely careful in these respects.
