Archivist's abstract
Εκφράζει την απογοήτευση του για το ότι ο N.Chamberlain χαρακτήρισε στην επιστολή του το αίτημα του Ε.Βενιζέλου για αναστολή του χρεωλυσίου ως "απειλή". Ζητεί από την Αγγλία να βοηθήσει την Ελλάδα με όποιο τρόπο κρίνει καλύτερο να αντιμετωπίσει τα οικονομικά της προβλήματα.

LEGATION DE GREECE, 51, Upper Brook Street, W.1. 30th January, 1932. Dear Mr. Chamberlain, I thank you for your letter of the 28th instant the contents of which I have noted carefully. May I only be allowed to express my regret that in your letter there is mention of a "threat" of mine for the suspension of the sinking fund on Greek Loans. I deem it my duty to say that neither in my Memorandum nor in the conversation which I had to have with you, have I formulated directly or indirectly any "threat" that my Government intend to take unilateral decisions, detrimental to the interests of bondholders. It is true that in my Memorandum it was said: "La Grèce considère comme un devoir de loyauté "de déclarer dès à présent qu'elle se trouve "dans la pénible nécessité de reconnaître que The Right Honourable Neville Chamberlain, M.P., H.M. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Treasury Chambers, S.W.1.

YUNANİSTAN ELÇİLİĞİ, 51, Upper Brook Street, W.1. 30 Ocak 1932. Sayın Bay Chamberlain, Bu ayın 28'i tarihli mektubunuz için teşekkür ederim; içeriğini dikkatle not etmiş bulunuyorum. Yalnızca, mektubunuzda Yunan İstikrazlarına ait itfa fonunun askıya alınması konusunda tarafımdan yapılmış bir "tehdit"ten söz edilmesinden duyduğum üzüntüyü ifade etmeme izin verilmesini rica ederim. Ne Muhtıramda ne de sizinle yapma durumunda kaldığım görüşmede, Hükümetimin tahvil hamillerinin çıkarlarına zarar verecek tek taraflı kararlar almaya niyetli olduğu yolunda doğrudan ya da dolaylı hiçbir "tehdit" ileri sürmediğimi belirtmeyi bir görev sayarım. Muhtıramda şu ifadenin yer aldığı doğrudur: "Yunanistan, şunu kabul etmek gibi elem verici bir zorunlulukla karşı karşıya bulunduğunu "şimdiden beyan etmeyi bir dürüstlük borcu sayar: Sayın (The Right Honourable) Neville Chamberlain, Parlamento Üyesi, Majestelerinin Maliye Bakanı, Treasury Chambers, S.W.1.
