President-elect Roosevelt to the Secretary of State

Warm Springs, Ga., January 27, 1933.
[Received January 27—4:14 p.m.]

On further reflection⁸² I am more than ever of the thought that a more informal oral suggestion would be more effective in permitting France to arrive at the reconsideration of their failure to pay. We are both fully and equally desirous of obtaining such payment and in my judgment this is possible if we use the more temperate methods.

Franklin D. Roosevelt
