Henry White, Ambassador to France, confidentially notifies Secretary of State Root that J. P. Morgan informed him of the Bank of France’s willingness to provide financial aid to the United States if recommended by the French Government. Morgan wants White to inform the French Minister for Foreign Affairs Stéphen Pichon that the United States approves of such financial support but will not pledge credit. White inquires if Root authorizes him to do so.
