- 1.
- In the absence of the Secretary and as the situation now stands, the Department is of the opinion that the question whether General McCoy should remain at Geneva is primarily one for determination by the League, the Commission and General McCoy as a member of the Commission. In case it is decided that the Commission as a body shall remain at Geneva it would seem logical for General McCoy to act in accordance with that decision. In case the Commission as a body does not remain at Geneva, General McCoy would presumably consider it preferable that he not remain.

- In case the Secretary desires, later, to offer any suggestions on this matter, you will be informed in due course.
- 3.
- You may inform General McCoy of the above.
