          740.0011 Four Power Pact/20

          Memorandum by the Chief of the Division of Western European Affairs (Moffat)1

          [Washington,] March 24, 1933.

          The accounts we have had to date of the origin and contents of the Mussolini proposal are not altogether clear and are in part conflicting.

          The idea for a Four Power grouping appears to have originated not with Mussolini but with MacDonald.

          Prior to the latter’s departure for Rome he discussed the idea in confidence at Geneva, notably with certain Polish officials of the League Secretariat, who subsequently told Mr. Gibson1a about it (telegram No. 581 of March 21, from Geneva2).

          According to these informants, MacDonald’s main preoccupation was the setting up of a small super Council of the four principal European Powers which would sit almost continuously and take decisions to be carried out by the regular Council of the League, thus remedying the latter’s unwieldiness and lack of policy and continuity.
