The Ambassador in Poland (Cudahy) to the Under Secretary of State (Phillips)
[Received April 11.]
Dear Mr. Phillips: It will be of interest for you to know that I had a long talk with Mr. Janusz Zoltowski yesterday. He is the financial Counselor of the Polish Embassy in Washington. He told me that he had come to Warsaw for the purpose of stressing the necessity of some sort of token payment on the governmental debt owing to the United States. He left his meeting with me for one with the President of the Republic70 and told me he had already taken the matter up with Wladyslaw Zawadski, Minister for Finance. He is leaving for America tomorrow and promised me that he would see Foreign Minister Beck or make a very determined effort to do so. Meanwhile he has left with Beck a memorandum covering the salient reasons why some form of acknowledgement should be made of the American debt.
It so happens that every argument he emphasizes in this memorandum is a re-statement of what I told Colonel Beck about two months ago when I saw him on other matters.
