1052. The Secretary of the Treasury has requested that I transmit the following cable to you.

“Refer to our cable no. 1614, April 25. We must have a definite response to the following question: Will the U.S.S.R. Government send a delegation to a monetary conference at the end of May if the President issues the invitation? This matter is now before the President and we expect to call you on the telephone Saturday morning with the hope of receiving a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer to this question.”
