The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in France (Edge)

205. Your 333 May 26th, 6 [5] P.M. The terms of paragraph 3 are included in all Hoover year debt postponement agreements. For this reason Treasury can not consent to omission, nor does this Government understand any good reason for omission in agreement with France. This creates no new obligation. It is now absolutely vital to know without further delay whether French Government will authorize representative to sign agreement at once. Treasury states that it has accepted the London Conference actuarial method of computing annuities.
