The Ambassador in Great Britain (Houghton) to the Secretary of State

[Paraphrase]
London, March 3, 1928—1 p.m.
[Received March 3—10:15 a.m.]

42. Department’s circular telegram, March 1. In the second resolution quoted, the term “aggression” and not “war of aggression” is used. Does “aggression” as here used mean merely hostile acts preceding or leading up to war? If all war is renounced then certainly all acts of aggression which might result in war must be renounced also. Is this interpretation correct?
