LEAGUE AND FAR EAST
ADVISORY COMMITTEE
U.S. "INFORMATIVE CONTACT"
(Received March 15, 11 .a.m.)
WASHINGTON, ■ March 14. An important decision of the Roosevelt Administration finds the United Stntes refusing to be bound by any action taken, but agreeing to join members of the Leagua- of Nations in a discussion as to what tho world should do about Japanese inroads in Northern China.
The State Department disclosed on Tuesday that Mr. Hugh R. Wilson, United States Minister in Switzerland, had been named to sit at the Council table with the League's special advisory committee on the -undeclared war in the Far East, and to participate in its acts with two important reservations, that the United States, ;not being a member of the League, will not vote and that it will not agree in advance to bow to the committee's decision, which might,call for an economic boycott or other coercive measures.
"The presence of the United States in this manner at tho meetings of the committee will give an informative contact," said the Department.
