The Minister in Switzerland (Gibson) to the Secretary of State

[Paraphrase]

58. On July 12 the Temporary Mixed Commission adjourned. The draft convention which the Commission drew up will be submitted in September to the Assembly of the League of Nations. The draft convention as approved by the Assembly will be submitted later to an international conference for negotiation. An invitation will be given to the interested governments to attend this conference.

The draft as approved by the Commission seems to be in harmony with the Department’s views as indicated by its instructions.

Gibson
