The Minister in Switzerland (Wilson) to the Acting Secretary of State

Geneva, April 30, 1932—11 a.m.
[Received April 30—5:45 a.m.]

91. Sir John Simon sends me a letter dated April 29th suggesting that it might be desirable for the four Ministers at Shanghai to resume joint reports to Committee of Nineteen at suitable intervals briefly narrating any developments such as military movement, progress of negotiations, et cetera.

I have consulted with the Secretary and he states that he desires this submitted to you but for his part sees no objection to procedure suggested.4

Wilson
