Memorandum by the Secretary of State

The Polish Ambassador brought me the annexed note.25 I told him that the United States Government was not contemplating any immediate initiative in that matter so far as I knew. I explained that if we took any initiative in the immediate future in regard to discussions on the subject of the settlement of any nation’s war debt, it would probably be with those nations which, like Great Britain, had made a distinct sacrifice in meeting the December 15 payment.
