2. The French Minister has received from the Haitian Government a note regarding the composition of the Claims Commission in which it is stated that it is the desire of the Haitian Government that each government be charged with the payment of the arbiter named by it. The French Minister this morning requested me to inform the Department that his Government is unwilling to pay the salary or expenses of the arbiter who shall represent French claimants.
