The Minister in Greece (Skinner) to the Secretary of State

Athens, April 9, 1927—1 p.m.
[Received April 9—9:10 a.m.]

21. Instructions have been sent to Greek Minister at London to sign agreement for consolidation and payment of Greek debt, 62 years, first annuity 200,000 pounds.4 I suggest that I be directed to inform Government that we expect no less consideration respecting our debt. British settlement carries with it implied promise of commercial loan.
