Washington, February 20, 1932—3
p.m.
40. Your 86, February 19, 10 p.m. Inform Drummond and Boncour that this Government is in entire sympathy with the endeavor of the Council to have the time limit of the ultimatum extended but that, as hostilities have now begun it would be useless for this Government to take similar action.
