New York, March 28, 1921.
[Received March 29.]

My Dear Mr. Fletcher: I thank you for your letter of March 25th,² advising me that the Department approves of our request to enlarge the International Committee of Bankers on Mexico by the addition of a representative from Belgium, the understanding being that effective control shall remain in our hands.

We have accordingly advised the British and French Groups that the American Group, with the approval of the Department of State, has voted favorably on the admission of a Belgian representative. We are also giving to the press a brief announcement covering the above.

Yours very truly,

T. W. Lamont
