The Minister in Switzerland (Harrison) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 7—10:16 a.m.]
40. Referring to my telegram No. 34, October 6, 10 [8] p.m., while I gathered from my conversation with Cranborne that the issuance of invitations to states with “special interests in the Far East” not parties to the Washington Treaty would await the decision of the parties to the Treaty, it has been generally assumed that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics would be invited and I have no doubt that Litvinov took this for granted in view of the wording of the last sentence of the 11th paragraph of the second report of the Subcommittee.
