The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in France (Edge)
Washington, December 23, 1932—6
p.m.
451. At press conference today a correspondent made inquiry as to the status of the commercial treaty. I stated in reply “The negotiations [Page 262] have not been broken off, but in view of the urgency of satisfactorily disposing of more important matters, the actual negotiations are for the present being held in abeyance”.
