The Chargé in France (Armour) to the Secretary of State
[Received May 13—9:20 a.m.]
208. Reparation No. 240. Next to last sentence of your telegram No. 148, May 11, 2 p.m.
In order to eliminate any possible misapprehension, I feel that I should point out that the 1988 millions is average annuity exclusive of service of the Dawes loan. With the service of that loan included, average total annuity works out at 2050 millions. I assume that this fact was taken into consideration when the Government’s position as defined in your telegram No. 148 was formulated, but I should appreciate confirmation of this point before I advise Young definitively of our position.
