The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in France (Herrick)

[Paraphrase]

235. Your 336, June 18, 6 p.m. Reference your first paragraph. I would be glad if you can find it possible to suggest that in speech on July 3 intention be publicly announced of sending commission to Washington to enter upon debt-funding negotiations, and that an early date be set for commission’s departure.
