- Meeting indicated in my H–2056 held today for fixation of army and other costs. Official text in English of proposed agreement only received this morning and while of course there is a slight difference in the wording, in substance it agrees with the text (which was translation made in this office from the French text) transmitted to the Department with my letter of January 4.7 Representatives indicated approval of proposed agreement changing however the phrase “Allied Governments” in the first line in the next to last paragraph relating to Rhineland High Commission to read “Allied and Associated Govments concerned.”
- 2.
- Meeting will be called later to sign agreement. Therefore request authority to sign on behalf of the United States. Department will recall that the similar agreement of September 4[21], 1925, was signed by me. Hill.
