The Ambassador in Great Britain (Kellogg) to the Acting Secretary of State
[Received August 8—9:05 a.m.]
328. My 314, August 5, 4 p.m. I sent to the Secretary of State at Southampton a copy of the French resolution proposing a meeting of Financial Ministers together with a copy of my reply outlined in paragraph 2 of my 314. The Secretary replied to me to the effect that he entirely approved the communication to the secretary general and saw no objection to an early meeting at Paris to discuss question of distribution.
Logan and I have prepared a memorandum dealing with the question of American participation in the payments to be made by Germany under the Dawes Plan, I furnished the Secretary a copy of this, likewise stating that we expected to deliver it to the principal Allied representatives at an appropriate moment. In reply the Secretary states that he entirely approves and thinks we have covered the matter fully.
Copies of all these documents are being sent by the pouch today.44 I might add that the memorandum is based on the several messages from the Department to Logan and to me.
