The Minister in Switzerland (Wilson) to the Acting Secretary of State

90. Committee of Nineteen met in secret session this afternoon. I am informed that information was furnished that both the Chinese and Japanese have accepted the Lampson proposal as to the duties of the Mixed Commission. The Japanese are still making some difficulty as to detail concerning the position of the Chinese troops.

The Committee is summoning the Assembly for Saturday morning1 at which time the draft resolution containing article 11 as last reported to you will be submitted. It is not known definitely what action the Japanese will pursue but it is expected that they will either vote for or abstain and it is not anticipated that they will raise objections.

Wilson
