The Chargé in France (Bliss) to the Acting Secretary of State

Paris , December 25, 1918—noon.
[Received 5:37 p.m.]

6489. War Trade Board [from Stetson]: Number 730. Referring to Inter-Allied committee in Paris, Seydoux wishes us to state that this will in no way interfere with Hoover-Clementel committee48 but will act with it and help it in every way possible. Seydoux notified us today that he had been notified by the Minister for Foreign Affairs that Hoover and Clementel had agreed and was preparing plan of committee; that Inter-Allied committee would be more or less an informal affair and not as complicated as the S.S.S. or N.O.T. Theoretic [sic]: that there would be one committee for all countries. Stetson.
