The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Bullitt)
260. Troyanovsky surprised us this morning by stating that he had been instructed to leave immediately for Moscow for the purpose of a further discussion of the question still in disagreement. He expects to leave on October 3d, reaching Moscow in about 10 days.
He has been repeatedly told that if the Soviet demand for a straight loan or an open credit, which would be the equivalent of a loan, is abandoned there will be no difficulty in our opinion in arriving at a settlement. If on receiving this you should desire any additional information as to what has occurred in the course of our conversations with Troyanovsky please advise.
