793.94 Commission/378: Telegram
The Consul at Port Said (Remillard) to the Secretary of State
[Received September 27—10:47 a.m.]
With reference to Department’s cable September 23, 4 p.m., General McCoy aboard ship Gange replies as follows:
“Before the Commission separated in Peiping it was unofficially informed by the Secretary General of the League that its presence in Geneva would probably be required during the discussion of its report. Lytton expects to hear from Drummond on arrival at Venice, September 30. In view of the fact that Lytton has just received instructions from his Government to proceed to London directly and that no other member of Commission will be in Geneva unless called I had intended to remain at some other place in Italy or Switzerland subject to call should the Commission remain in existence.
After your consideration of the foregoing I shall be glad to comply with your instructions and will talk to Hugh Wilson from Venice.”
