The Ambassador in Great Britain (Kellogg) to the Secretary of State
[Received June 18—2:15 p.m.]
220. From a conversation with the Prime Minister I am led to believe that after his interview with Herriot, which he expects will take place Saturday,23 should Great Britain, France, and Belgium agree on program for putting into force Dawes report, there will be meeting of Prime Ministers, and that they are very likely to send you an invitation to have a representative present in preliminaries. He said that they did not wish to embarrass you or request you to do anything which you feel our Government would not be justified in doing at this stage, but would leave it to you to help them in any way you feel proper; and that should an invitation be extended to have representative present or to appoint one, he hoped that it would be some outstanding figure of prominence whose presence would add influence.
- On Saturday, June 21, M. Herriot crossed to London.↩
