because we could draw on the financial resources of the U. S. A. both before 1917 and after.
     This question is evidently much more complex than any of the others which the allied

this matter with Mr. Paul Reynaud, but already I suggest you give thought to the possibility of the
two Governments asking the two Treasuries to consider the best methods of securing also in the
financial field the coordination of efforts of the two countries in a manner which will permit the
working of the Allied organization in relation to finance.
 
     I will inform Mr. Daladier of the various conversations that I have had with you and the
various conversations that I have had with you and the various British Ministries of generally our
common understanding of the problems.
     I expect to be back before the end of the week and I hope then to be in a position to work
out with you a common plan of action, which could then be submitted to our two Governments
for their approval.
     I am grateful for the assistance which you have so kindly given me.
     With kind regards, believe me,
                    Yours sincerely,
