The Assistant Secretary of State (Berle) to the Secretary of the Treasury (Morgenthau)

My Dear Mr. Secretary: In reply to your inquiry regarding the list of countries to whom the monetary stabilization plan prepared by Treasury experts might be sent, it would seem appropriate to send this plan to all of the United Nations and to all of the American republics which are not United Nations, other than Argentina.

The self-governing Dominions should, of course, be addressed as separate nations; and India should likewise be addressed separately, since India has representation independent of the United Kingdom.

Sincerely yours,

Adolf A. Berle, Jr.
