The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in France (Wallace)93

[Paraphrase]
Washington, April 2, 1920—4 p.m.

669. Our telegram no. 483 of March 6. It is the view of the Department that it is not desirable to delay longer putting into effect its suggestion that restrictions on trade with Soviet Russia be removed. It proposes to do so soon and suggests April 10 as the date. Foreign Office should be informally advised.

Any objections to this plan which may occur to the Government of France will gladly be considered by this Government.
