The Secretary of State to the Acting Secretary of State

S. S. “Pan America”, August 30, 1922—noon.
[Received August 31—4:53 p.m.]

32. Your number 6, August 28, 3 p.m. I do not see that we can make any helpful suggestion while subject is a question for the Reparations Commission. If French have fully determined to act at once in case no agreement is reached no suggestion that you might make would affect their decision. I should not care to reach any final conclusion as to our course until further advised. Have the advantage of knowing precise situation after Commission’s meeting. Keep me fully advised.
