The Department of State to the Swedish Legation

Memorandum

The Department of State is in receipt of a memorandum of December 13, 1918, from the Swedish Legation transmitting a communication from Austria addressed to President Wilson touching a proposal that the Czecho-Slovak Republic and the Jugoslav State submit frontier disputes to arbitration.

In this connection reference is again made to the Department’s note of December 6 [7], 1918, in which it was stated that the United States would prefer not to receive further communications of this nature from Austria unless it is clear that they are being simultaneously communicated to the other governments concerned.
