The German Ambassador (Wiedfeldt) to the Secretary of State
Mr. Secretary of State: Under instructions received from my Government I have the honor to inform Your Excellency as follows:
The Reparations Commission having decided to appoint two Commissions of which one to examine German capital abroad and the other the financial situation and currency conditions of Germany, the German Government is of the opinion that through the proceedings [Page 105] in the latter commission important progress could be made towards the solution of the problems underlying economic recovery. My Government holds the view that this aim can only be achieved if the United States cooperates in said Commission.
It would therefore be much appreciated by my Government, if the Government of the United States were to agree to the participation of an American expert in said Commission.
Accept [etc.]
