1507. My 1393, October 23, 4 p.m. The British Ambassador told me last night that he had heard nothing further from the Soviet Foreign Office concerning the proposals which he had [submitted] on October 2 and that at his last interview with Vyshinski the latter had been extremely noncommittal. The Ambassador, who appeared very discouraged, indicated that he had almost given up hope of a favorable reaction to the British proposals at the present time.
