The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in France (Wallace)

[Paraphrase]

9465. Please inform the Supreme Council that in cases where decisions, resolutions, or actions are taken by that body which do not particularly interest the United States and are agreed to without [Page 32] your specific approval, they should be so worded as to clearly indicate that they represent the views of only those powers which have agreed to them. In connection with this it is suggested that it should be made clear that the expression “Principal Allied and Associated Powers” should only be used when you have agreed to its use in any particular instance.
