882.01 Foreign Control/110: Telegram

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

52. Your telegram No. 55, May 8, 11 a.m. You may inform the Under Secretary General that should it be determined to hold a further meeting of the Liberian Committee I would appreciate learning of it sufficiently far in advance to enable an American representative to participate in its discussions. This would be difficult to arrange prior to June 10.

[Paraphrase.] Please inform the Minister of my preference that this Committee hold no further meetings until after the investigations have been instituted by the experts which it designated. The date of their departure for Monrovia is now understood to be scheduled for June 6.

Although it is not desired by the Department that any special arrangements be made to participate in the proceedings of the League Council, information respecting the Council discussions should be obtained informally in the usual way and telegraphically reported here. [End paraphrase.]
