The Secretary of State to the American Delegate (Wilson)

439. Your 912, June 23, 2 p.m. The Department is instructing the Ambassadors in London and Paris to sound out the Governments to which they are accredited.

The Department does not attach any special significance to the phrase “such adherence”. It is believed that that phrase was erroneously used where “such ratification” was intended and that it refers to ratification by this Government.
