The Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Bullitt) to the Secretary of State

Moscow, October 2, 1934—noon.
[Received October 2—10:53 a.m.]

336. Your 264, October 1, noon. Litvinov delayed, will return to Moscow 3d or 4th. He will doubtless bring up the matter of Troyanovsky’s recent conversations with you.

In view of certain palpably inaccurate statements that Rubinin has made to me recently with regard to these conversations I should be greatly obliged if you would let me know before Litvinov’s return the exact terms of the “most liberal proposal” referred to in your telegram under reference. I shall emphasize to Litvinov that a loan in any form or amount is impossible.
