The Secretary of State to the Special Mission at Lausanne
[Paraphrase]
Washington, November
20, 1922—6 p.m.
2. Referring to Mission’s 3, November 20. Department thinks it would not be fitting that a representative of the United States preside at Lausanne, and you should endeavor to avoid a formal request by making clear the Department’s attitude if you are approached informally.
