The Secretary of State to the Minister in Switzerland (Wilson), at Geneva
149. Your 241, May 3, 3 p.m. Upon receipt of invitation or of notice of convocation Department desires that you instruct Mayer to attend meetings of the China Technical Committee in the same capacity as that of the previous American representatives, namely, informally and as an unofficial observer. If, however, you have any reason to believe that the Committee will, or if after convening the Committee proceeds to, take formal notice of Japanese allegations with regard to political activities of the Committee, you should report to the Department by telegraph and Mayer should refrain from attending meetings of the Committee until he is again authorized specifically to do so.
