The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in France ( Herrick )
165. H–56 for Hill. Department’s No. 90, April 10, 2 p.m., Hill’s H–92, April 22, 3 p.m., and the Embassy’s No. 156, April 23, 4 p.m. Mr. Wilson will sail for France on June 9. The Department wishes him to work closely with Hill in order to familiarize himself thoroughly with reparation matters; it is desired that for the present he give them his preferential attention. Department also desires that Hill, if he sees no objection, make arrangements he may deem proper to have Wilson attend reparation meetings.
Department does not intend to instruct Hill to return to the Department before September 1, 1926. Definite instructions in that matter will be sent later.
