The Secretary of State to the Chargé in France (Armour)
29. Your No. 32, January 17, 7 p.m. I do not understand what further communication the governments are waiting for. They all authorized the British Ambassador here to inquire of me if there were any objection to the six powers selecting and appointing American experts, and on December 24th I informed the Ambassador that if the six governments desired to select and appoint American experts on the committee this Government would have no objection.
Yesterday the British Ambassador informed me that he was going to New York to offer the appointment to Young and Morgan and to Perkins as an alternate. I again informed him that this Government had no objection. I do not know of any further communication the foreign governments need.
Your 24, January 15, noon.5 I do not understand what communication the Reparations Committee desires or needs to make to the United States Government as I understand all the governments have agreed upon these appointments.
