The Consul General at Paris (Gaulin) to the Secretary of State

From Skinner: National City Bank is now considering participation in proposed loan to Greece. Having requested my opinion through Paris office, I have stated confidentially that the Department is unfavorable to American participation pending adjustment of American claim. The loan is being arranged at Geneva, where Foreign and Finance Ministers are now stopping. In case Department has any suggestions to lay before them while loan is in present formative state I could easily see them at Geneva.
