Is proposed payment of expenses of American representative at the same rate being provided for representatives of other governments? Explain why offer was made and whether as result of negotiations to that end. Are expenses already paid by United States to be refunded to you in cash? If so, can they be utilized for War Department expenses and transfer effected here or can payment be made here through Swiss?
