Very hot. Stayed home all morning. By 12, thermometer in parlor reached 90°.
S.C. at 3. Translation of Malik’s speech took more than 1 hour. Then vote on his motion of an appeal to all states to accede to the Geneva Protocol of 1925. Jack Ross had told me the U.S.A. hoped all would abstain. I had planned to vote against. The result was 1 in favor and 10 abstentions. Gross gloated over the result—universal condemnation of a fraud. Malik raved against U.S. block—“cowardice.” One afternoon gave to explanations of vote, except France and China. Then, the question of the next meeting, Malik suggested Monday or even Friday. Kyrou of Greece finally moved for Tuesday. It was agreed to. Thus ended the month of Malik. His explanation of vote was a big propaganda effort, spreading net out for the goody-goody, the neutralist, etc.
