The Acting Secretary of State to the Swiss Minister ( Sulzer )
Sir: In a note addressed to you, dated November 15th, the Secretary of State suggested to the German Government that communications which pertain to the terms of the armistice or to matters in which all the Associated Governments are interested should be sent to all the Governments and not addressed alone to the President or Government of the United States.
In this connection I beg now to call your attention to the fact that the German Government, nevertheless, continues to address to this Government, through your good offices, various communications which apparently have not been communicated to the Governments associated with the United States in the war. In these circumstances I should be grateful if you would kindly inform your Government that the Government of the United States would prefer not to receive further communications of the above nature from the German Government unless it is clear that they are being simultaneously communicated to the other Governments concerned.
Accept [etc.]
