The Minister in Switzerland ( Stovall ) to the Acting Secretary of State
[Received December 12, 4.19 a.m.]
Have received communication from Polish Chargé d’Affaires in Berne stating that his Government has learned that certain Jewish organizations have requested the associated governments to send a mission into Poland for purpose of investigating the alleged programs [pogroms] and adding that the Polish Government hastened to state that in case one or more of the Associated Governments are contemplating sending a mission of this sort, or for any other reason, into Poland the Government would be the first to be gratified by this step and to accord to such mission all possible facilities.
Respectfully suggest that fears of Jews in the United States regarding alleged programs [pogroms] might be allayed by publication of this statement. This repeated to Paris.
