500.A15A4 General Committee/678: Telegram
The American Delegate (Wilson) to the Acting Secretary of State
[Received December 2—6:08 a.m.]
800. 1. The Committee on Control yesterday discussed the French amendments to article 75 of the British draft (Conference document 163 (1) September 22, 1933). Both according to the express declaration of the Chairman of the Committee and of members including myself, the discussion on this subject is to be entirely explanatory since the application of the principle of automatic and continuous control as it is being developed by the French delegation is new ground which all feel must be carefully worked over. Thus there is no commitment by the delegations.
2. Unless the Department instructs otherwise I shall not telegraph details at present.
