The Under Secretary of State to Mr. R. C. Leffingwell of J. P. Morgan & Co.
Dear Mr. Leffingwell: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of December 14 stating that discussions are going on in London between the Austrian Government and the European Relief Creditor States. With reference to your statement that the suggestion has been made that this Government might wish to be represented in these discussions, I may say this Department has received no suggestion from the Austrian Government or from any of the Creditor States that it should participate in or keep in touch with these discussions.
Thanking you [etc.]
