Houghton's Talk Mirrors Opinion On Europe
Washington reports that Ambassador Houghton in London signaled American willingness to aid Europe only if peaceful economic rebuilding is pursued. President Coolidge sees improving European economics and possible gold standards as stabilizing signs for potential private loans by U.S. bankers, with discretion based on each country’s policies. Washington notes no specific loans are approved and warns against militaristic use of funds amid German elections and Balkan developments. A separate note from Moscow says a formal manganese mine concession with the Harriman combine and Soviet Georgia may be signed soon.
