Memorandum of Conversation, by the Under Secretary of State (Welles)

[Washington,] October 31, 1940.

The Soviet Ambassador called to see me.

The Ambassador again undertook a discourse upon the subject of Baltic ships within United States jurisdiction.

I stated that I would investigate the matter further and would discuss the problem with him once more in an early conversation.
