The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Belgium (Mayer)19
20. For the Ambassador. Please advise Belgian authorities that Italian Government has instructed its Ambassador to sign Hoover year debt postponement agreement with Treasury. British Government states that authority to British Ambassador to sign agreement is being forwarded. The danger of misunderstanding and recriminations in this country against those nations who accepted the Hoover year debt postponement but who have not as yet expressed willingness to sign the agreements putting this into legal effect increases every day.
- The same telegram, mutatis mutandis, May 23, to the Embassies in Poland and France.↩
