The Secretary of State to the Chargé in France (Armour)

[Paraphrase]

109. For Young.

Press carries report that figures on reparations will be given out Monday. Complete statement of this Government’s position will be telegraphed you tomorrow, and it is hoped that there may be no publicity until after you have had opportunity to consider statement. I may add that Mr. Wilson’s letter of April 12 to you correctly states position of this Government respecting mixed claims and Army costs.
