The British Embassy to the Department of State
Aide-Mémoire
His Majesty’s Embassy has been instructed to inform the State Department that His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom have decided that, pending an expression of the views of the United States Government on the points raised in the Embassy’s Aide-Mémoire of February 21st, they do not intend to inform the Greek Government that His Majesty’s Government will not be able to meet the financial commitments of the Greek Armed Forces after March 31, 1947.
[Page 56]2. His Majesty’s Government would therefore greatly appreciate a very early expression of the views of the United States Government, in order that the Greek Government may have as much time as possible to adjust themselves to the new conditions.
