Dear Governor Strong:
There is enclosed copy of cable No. 1170 to you, just received from the Treasury. It was not thought advisable to repeat this for you to the National Bank of Belgium or the Nederlandsche Bank, in accordance with your request to Mr. Shaw, as it was not known in what code it should be put and it could not well be sent en claire or paraphrased, as its contents appeared to require secrecy. Furthermore, it did not appear to be extremely urgent.
I also take pleasure in forwarding herewith copy of translation of cable in Bentley’s code, received from the Charge d’Affaires at The Hague, which is self explanatory.
Lurtin R. Ginn
Treasury Representative, Paris.
