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

74. With reference to Draft Resolution December 12, noon [Draft Resolution No. ?] 1, my 72, December 15, 9 p.m., I note that among the powers of the “negotiations committee” (see penultimate paragraph) is that of fixing the time limit referred to in the Assembly resolution of July 1st. If eventually you should decide to accept the invitation, if issued, you may care to consider whether your acceptance should contain a statement to the effect that in the performance of this particular duty which involves the application of article XII, second paragraph of the Covenant of the League of Nations, the American representative will take no part.

Wilson
