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

[Paraphrase]

4. My telegram No. 72, December 27, reporting suggestion from Minister of Foreign Affairs with respect to debt settlement. After a somewhat urgent private conversation, the Minister has sent me a written note requesting me to remind the Department of previous correspondence and to ask for an expression of the views of the Department. The Greek Government desires to learn whether American legislation regarding debt settlement with Greece is pending and also the expectations of the Treasury Department, as the Government is about to renew negotiations with the British Government, leading bank authorities having for that purpose gone to London.
