793.94 Commission/324: Telegram
The Minister in China (Johnson) to the Secretary of State
[Received August 15—7:10 a.m.]
949. I am informed that it is probable that League Secretariat or League Commission will ask General McCoy to remain at Geneva for the purpose of assisting in discussion of Sino-Japanese questions when Commission returns to Europe. McCoy in a personal and confidential conversation, which I had with him the other day (and before above information came to me) intimated that he felt somewhat diffident about being present in Geneva and would go directly home. I was disposed to agree with him that from the American point of view his presence there might not be convenient. However, having now had this intimation and without his knowledge I am communicating this to you in order that, if desired, [you may have?] an opportunity to consider the matter and transmit such views as you care to transmit on the subject.
