The Minister in Switzerland (Wilson) to the Secretary of State
[Received February 14—7:57 a.m.]
21. I shall deliver the message contained in your number 13, February 13, 2 p.m., tomorrow morning, Monday.
In this connection we had thought you might care to consider the advisability of allowing Drummond to make a request for information from us, and to reply with a memorandum for the information of the Council giving the history of the negotiations which you initiated in collaboration with the British Government. Not only would this furnish Drummond with information regarding the only gap in Foochow [sic] story but would also be a striking answer to the persistent stories which are being put about as to our failure to cooperate with the Council.
