The Secretary of State to the Minister in Switzerland (Wilson)
Washington, September
29, 1936—6 p.m.
512. Your 1070, September 29, 3 p.m. Referring to last paragraph of the above it would seem inadvisable for us to put ourselves in the position of making a formal approach to the British and the French. We wish you to follow closely the developments in respect of disarmament, reporting any further facts as to the British and French positions as they may come to you but without exposing us to the possibility of being regarded as an intermediary in the present complex stage of disarmament-security negotiations in Europe.
