File No. 102.1/406
The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Great Britain ( Page)
5872. For Crosby, from W. B. Poland:
Treasury 10. Replying your 5, think you had better let me have your recommendations as to additional credits now asked for by Italy at earliest possible moment. While obtaining what information you can as to necessity for these credits and advisability of granting them prefer that you should not allow decision to await formation of Inter-Ally Council even with a view to accelerating its formation. Existing situation in Italy is regarded here as reason for prompt and liberal action rather than for hesitation in matter of financial support.
