Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Address of the President to Congress December 8, 1914

File No. 838.51/367.

The Secretary of State to Minister Blanchard.

[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, November 27, 1914, 5 p.m.

Your November 24, 2 p.m. You are instructed discreetly to use your influence to discourage the issue of any paper currency at this time. This is one of the matters which, in the opinion of the Department, had best be taken up when the Haitian Commission arrives in Washington. Department is informed Bank of Haiti will refuse to receive this proposed issue as legal tender.
