Nothing.  The Payee always takes precedence over the Memo.  If a Payee
exists QIF will always prefer it (and only display it).  The Memo only
gets shown if there is no Payee.  This is by design.

Why do you have Payees of numbers?  The Payee should be the actual, um,
Payee.  Who did you pay with these transactions?
