The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in France (Herrick)

[Paraphrase]

60. For Owen Young:

Can you send me by cable by early part of next week a general review of what has been accomplished and what the situation is in Paris; whether any total amount has been discussed, the prospects of fixing one, and the annual payments; and whether there is any real intention of floating a large bond issue soon. If you will send the message “Personal for the Secretary” it will be communicated to no one but the President.
