793.94 Commission/516: Telegram
The Minister in Switzerland (Wilson) to the Secretary of State
[Received November 9—11:30 a.m.]
36. Following message received from General McCoy:
“General McCoy requests that in view of his continuing as a member of the Lytton Commission during the consideration of the Manchurian report by the League of Nations the American representative at Geneva be furnished by the Department such information as might be useful or interesting for General McCoy to know particularly anything pertinent to his problem which may have occurred since his departure from the Far East. Certain reports from the American Embassy at Tokyo have already been seen by the General. General McCoy quite appreciates the importance of his having the same freedom of action as heretofore and realizes that he is in no sense representing the American Government.”
I understand that General McCoy hopes that I may be instructed to receive and make available to him information pertinent to the consideration [Page 342] of the Lytton report, in other words maintain the same relationship that was maintained between him and our representatives in the Far East.
