The Chargé in Switzerland (Winslow) to the Secretary of State

Berne, April 22, 1926—5 p.m.
[Received 6:25 p.m.]

92. Department’s 64, April 20, 8 p.m.⁸⁴

1. I indicated informally to Drummond on April 21 the contents of Department’s 55.⁸⁵ Although the question was not raised I do not believe that he intends to convey to the interested Governments the substance of my remarks.

2. He asked that I impress upon the Department that the Permanent Advisory Commission and the Joint Commission for the purpose and duration of the Conference would be solely responsible and subservient to the Preparatory Commission and not to the Council.

3. He indicated moreover that in his opinion there would be no disposition at the Conference to oppose the Department’s views with regard to the organization of the work of the Conference.
