The Secretary of State to the Chargé in France (Armour)
103. Please show Department’s telegram No. 102, Reparation No. 72, April 8, 7 p.m., to Mr. Frank B. Kellogg.24 I should like to know from him what the understanding was with Mr. Young and Mr. Morgan on subjects in that telegram. From the correspondence it would seem that we had distinct understanding that the European war debts owed to the United States were not to be made a subject of either inquiry or report. If Mr. Kellogg is in accord with sentiments expressed in Secretary Mellon’s memorandum, I should be glad to have him confer with the American representatives on the Experts Committee and to use his influence along the lines of the memorandum.
