The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Poland (Johnson)

Washington, March 5, 1937—1 p.m.

19. Department confidentially informed that British Government is informing the Polish Government that they consider that it could and should maintain full service of all tranches of the Stabilization Loan and that if reductions were made on the sterling tranche the British Government would take steps to protect British holders of sterling bonds.

Please verify and ascertain the attitude of the Polish Government, in view particularly of its commitments under the offer to the American bondholders announced February 24.
