The Acting Secretary of State to the Chairman of the American Delegation (Hull)
85. Your 59, December 15, midnight, third paragraph.53 As regards Cruchaga’s resolution we agree with your proposed method of handling the matter. While we have of course been supporting the present efforts of the League to settle this controversy, yet the specific wording of the resolution “in the application of the Covenant” with its possible implication of sanctions makes it highly advisable to handle the matter as you suggest.
Brazil of course is not a member of the League and may have her own ideas as to applying the resolution to “the four nations contiguous” but you of course have this in mind.
