Your No. 50. Swiss President nevertheless asked me to inform you that Swiss Minister at Washington instructed to confer with you for the purpose of making joint representation in London and Paris. Business telegrams between Switzerland and the United States still held up. Banks say impossible to transact financial or commercial negotiations with the United States.
