The Secretary of State to President Wilson
My Dear Mr. President: I saw Mr. Baruch this morning in regard to the Czecho-Slovak relief and he thought it highly essential that he should be put in touch at once with Professor Masaryk. This I have arranged.
I also took the liberty of telling him of the suggestion which I had made in regard to a loan and he said that he considered it the most practical and efficient means of arranging for the supplies and expediting their transportation. Of course the matter of purchase and allocation of tonnage would still be in Mr. Baruch’s hands.
Faithfully yours,
