793.94 Commission/271: Telegram
The Secretary of State to the Minister in China (Johnson)
174. Your 696, June 22, 11 p.m. I appreciate your views, as set forth in the last paragraph of the telegram under reference, in regard to the report of the League Commission of Inquiry. However, as the whole situation is extremely complicated and in a state of flux, it is difficult to formulate any fixed view as to the best course of action for the Commission to follow at the time it actually makes its report. The content and form of the Commission’s report must of course be left to decision by the Commission itself under its terms of reference, but if you feel so disposed, I perceive no objection to your making known your personal views on the subject informally to members of the Commission.
