The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in France (Caffery)
5494. For Angell No. 47. Dept agrees to informal understanding with Brit outlined urtel 6804 from Angell No. 85.55a
Dept agrees acceptance Waley position that labor be taken into account by rough adjustments shares of French and other countries, but has difficulty seeing without figures how this would fail to affect proposed French share previously suggested by you. At minimum it is suggested that you alter the distribution of 16 percent of industrial capital equipment given up by US as between French and other countries to take account labor services of PW’s, in view of fact that division this 16 percent, 6 for French and 10 for all other claimants than Brit, was already generous to France.
