The Secretary of State to the American Delegate (Wilson)
245. Your 452, November 14, 6 p.m. Your understanding that you should oppose suggestions (a), (b) and (c) is correct.
You should support the proposal that any system of publicity of manufacture should apply also to material in stock, private and state.
The convention of 1925 is still before the Senate. Therefore what we contemplated was not resubmission of that treaty but an effort to secure favorable action upon it by the Senate. Such effort, if made, should be made as soon as possible after Congress reconvenes. For our guidance in this matter, please keep us fully informed of all developments as they occur.
