French Delegation with the Armistice Commission.
Report on a conversation between Mr. Hemmen and Mr. De
Boisanger, 10 October at 1600 hours, Page 4

Mr. Hemmen — This is an extremely serious difficulty. You
are trying to make illusory the rate of the marks. I beg you
to warn your government. We shall interrupt the
negotiations.

I actually foresaw that you would not be able to prevent
prices from rising. But now you are making them rise
systematically with exports. We shall find quite other means
to fulfill our aims. We are going to take the bauxite.
