The Secretary of State to the Greek Minister (Simopoulos)

The Secretary of State presents his compliments to the Minister of Greece and, in acknowledging the receipt of his note of May 21, 1928, communicating the request of the Greek Government that the Powers signatory to the agreement of January 14, 1925, regarding the distribution of the Dawes annuities, proceed to a new apportionment of Bulgarian payments, has the honor to inform him that the matter of the formal relationship of the United States Government to the proposed action is receiving the consideration of this Government. Inasmuch, however, as this Government does not participate in the distribution of Bulgarian reparation payments, it desires in no way to prejudice the consideration of the request of the Greek Government by the other Governments to which it has been addressed.
