their government in order to eliminate the last obstacle to an understanding.
Mr. Duchemin then asked us to declare our preparedness to talk to the French
Government representatives together with him and his colleagues. I declared
that I would only be able to do that in the presence of representatives of our
own government. Mr. Duchemin thereupon went to see Mr. Barnaud and Mr. Pucheux.
Those two, in their turn, called upon Mr. Michel, and thus, at the request of
the French, the final discussion took place in the presence of
representatives of both governments.
I believe that I have herewith
informed you about all important matters on the course the Paris negotiations
took. I should be happy if the results were equally welcomed by all quarters as
accomplished by the joint efforts of both government and private
economy. |

draft that were handed over to the French in Paris, together with remarks; and
also various other documents, details of which appear from the memorandum
[bordereau] attached to Mr. Frossards letter of the 9th addressed to you,
which is enclosed herewith. Dr. Kramer simultaneously submitted a file note on
a discussion which he had with Mr. Duchemin on the 8th paragraph 3 of
the note likewise refers to the bylaws and the draft of the agreement. Copy of
the file note is also enclosed herewith.
This morning, in a first
reading in a small circle (Kuepper, Rospatt, Loehr, Eckert, Kramer) we sifted
the final version of the French, including their remarks concerning the parts
