Excellency: For some years past it has been the practice of the Department of State, a few days before payments became due on obligations of other Governments to the United States arising from the World War, to transmit to the diplomatic representatives of such Governments in Washington statements of the amounts due and payable from their Governments.

Accept [etc.]
