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

Paris , January 14, 1925—noon .
[Received January 14—10:48 a.m.]

43. L–315 [from Herrick, Kellogg and Logan]. Reference Department’s L–196.³¹ Subparagraph 2 (b) our L–312 (see our L–312)³² provides specifically “that the Agreement of May 25, 1923” (in other words specifically the Wadsworth Agreement) “does not apply to payments on account of reparation by any ex-enemy powers other than Germany”. Will be seen by this that only waiver we have made is waiver under Wadsworth Agreement for claims such as example the Bulgarian moneys³³ and in no way affects the rights we have under our treaties with Austria, Hungary and Turkey. Herrick, Kellogg, Logan.
