The Acting Secretary of State to the Swiss Minister ( Sulzer )
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of November 26, 1918, in which you inform this Government that the German Government begs to suggest that, in order to simplify matters, a central diplomatic agency be designated to receive and consider, on behalf of the United States and Allied Governments, the wishes of the German Government which, according to the present procedure, are to be submitted to all the governments concerned.
In reply, I have the honor to inform you that the Supreme War Council at Versailles is an agency corresponding to the one the German Government asks to have designated.
Accept [etc.]
