500.A15A4 General Committee (Arms)/158: Telegram

The Secretary of State to the American Delegate (Wilson)

488. Your 1019, March 21, 11 a.m. We hope it may be possible for the Committees to proceed with the work in hand. Nevertheless, if at any time you become convinced that as a result of the general political situation in Europe, no useful purpose can be served by continuing to proceed with negotiations, you are authorized in your discretion to acquiesce in but not to propose an adjournment.
