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

[Telegram]

3009. Following telegram from McNally, Zürich:

November 23. Should the German Government express a willingness to make known their peace terms to a duly authorized American representative, would our Government consider the appointment of such a person to receive them and to confer and exchange ideas tending towards a basis for the discussion of peace without any reference to a separate peace? Am informed that the German Government would gladly enter into such an arrangement.

Wilson
