The Ambassador in France (Straus) to the Secretary of State

Paris, May 26, 1934—5 p.m.
[Received May 26—10:35 a.m.]

389. From Norman Davis. Your 201, May 24. In view of cumulative indications of a tendency at least for a British rapprochement with Japan I entirely concur in your views that it would be well for me to have a thoroughly frank talk with Simon. This will be necessary for our guidance in the naval discussions. I understand he is arriving in Geneva Monday morning and I will see him at the first opportune time. [Davis.]
