The Ambassador in Turkey (MacMurray) to the Secretary of State
[Received May 24—11:45 a.m.]
168. In view of the frequent complaints of the local press previously reported (although not shared in informed official circles) as to our alleged slowness in furnishing aid to Turkey and other small countries and of my lack of any definite information on the subject, I should appreciate being informed more specifically as to the nature and extent of the aid mentioned in your telegram No. 72, May 17, 4 p.m.,55 as having been already extended to Turkey under the Lease-Lend Act and as to any arrangements for such aid in future.
