Messersmith, G.S., Vienna. To James Clement Dunn, Washington., 1936 September 25

Sending copy of letter to Secretary; calls attention to despatch no. 914; Austrian Minister for Finance in Geneva for talks on budget and removal of League financial control in Austria; some think Austria has lost interest in League and will get out if Italy does, but that is not the case; Chancellor did not go to Geneva because there was nothing on agenda Finance Minister could not handle, but he has indicated to French and English Ministers his willingness to go if [Yvon] Delbos or [Anthony] Eden should wish it; enclosing clippings from London Times which Dunn and [Rudolf Emil] Schoenfeld should find interesting; is glad Department has men like Schoenfeld and hopes he goes to a post of his liking.
