Memorandum of Conversation, by the Assistant Secretary of State (Berle)
The Swiss Minister98b came in to see me at his request and he asked about the forthcoming Air Conference. I gave him the same general explanation which we have been giving other countries. I developed a little the division of opinion between the British and ourselves relating to an air authority. I told him that we simply could not see delegating this positive authority to a world organization in advance of the development of some system of law by which it should act.
I then asked what the views of the Swiss Government were. The Minister said he had no instructions as yet, but his own view was that the Swiss position would be very close to our own.
