File No. 872.51/55
The Delegate to the Inter-Allied Council ( Crosby) to the Secretary of State
[Received December 12, 1.25 p.m.]
No. 15. For Secretary of the Treasury:
Have seen Pashitch, Serbian Prime Minister. He tells me loans now being made by Great Britain and France cover in general same objects as those made by us but wholly insufficient. He alleges there has never been any difficulty in having material taken into occupied territory through Swiss Red Cross just as similar material taken into Belgium. However, recommend that action on loan be suspended until further discussion with British Government in London next week and presentation of matter to Inter-Allied Council which will then be organized.
