The Chairman of the American Delegation (Davis) to the Secretary of State

859. Your 417, May 28, 8 p.m. We are working on a plan for the application of a regime of international inspection in connection with the national control of the manufacture of and trade in arms bearing in mind the two possibilities of first, incorporation of such provisions in a general treaty for disarmament and, second, for such provisions in connection with a separate treaty. We would greatly appreciate, however, such information as you may be able to furnish us as to how the Department visualizes the solution of the problem.

Davis
