 NO. 150, February 29.
 Answer to telegram No 6I9.
 Agree to the loan but only if peace action seems to you really serious project as the provision of money III New York is for us at present extra ordinarily difficult If the enemy coun- try is Russia have nothing to do with the business, as the sum of money IS too small to have any serious effect in that country. So, too, in the case of Italy, for it would not be worth while to spend so much.
