The Acting Secretary of State to the Secretary of State

Litvinov is planning to sail from New York on Saturday. I am giving out a statement referring to debts and claims to the effect that, since the exchange of notes on November 16th, further discussions have taken place, but owing to intricacy of questions it has been impossible to reach definite conclusions before Litvinov’s departure; discussions will be continued by responsible officers of both governments; conversations to date disclose a desire on both sides to reach a speedy solution of the remaining questions.
