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

181. Your 101, May 12, 5 p.m.

1.
The word “pressing” was used in the sense that the status of the consuls was the only point which immediate information from the governments was requested by the Committee.
2.
I have consulted Drummond informally and he states that the point on which information is desired, if possible, is what will be done by the governments in the event that a consul dies at his post, is transferred, or for other reason must leave his post. What would be the procedure of the states in replacing that consul? How would the matter of exequatur be handled? They are anxious to know whether such a case has yet arisen or whether the governments have considered what they would do if such case does arise.
