The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Great Britain (Davis)

Washington, July 29, 1920—5 p.m.

797. Your 1079, July 16, 8 p.m.36 and Despatch 3079, July [June] 25. Please inform Sir Eric Drummond that United States is not in a position to contribute financially to the League of Nations’ plan to combat typhus in Poland. Such contribution would require appropriation by Congress, which is not now in session. You may add, however, that this Government is fully alive to the vital importance of the endeavors of the League in this respect and is now considering whether some other way of cooperating in the proposed work may not be found.
