F. Walters: S. Lester's telegram was a tactical move, asking for a written reply.
S. Lester requested F. Walters' and the Secretary-General's views regarding the procedures: a report by the Rapporteur would have been the normal procedure, S. Lester proposed the appointment of a Committee to report on the Zentrum Party's petition and Catholic Priests' petition, as well as to study some Danzig constitutional points, or that the Rapporteur wished the matter to be adjourned to enable him to study the legal points raised, S. Lester thought either of these procedures would be better than the mere withdrawal of the questions from the Council Agenda.
