Memorandum of Conversation, by the Assistant Secretary of State (Acheson)

Mr. Hall called at his request. After discussing two matters separately reported, he observed that the Embassy had heard from Sir Frederick Leith-Ross that he regarded the attitude of the Exiled Governments in London toward the UNRRA proposal as quite satisfactory. He said that there was a good deal of grumbling and some protest regarding this Central Committee, but that he thought this would quiet down and would not become a major issue. I said to Mr. Hall that this was an encouraging report and that the view expressed by Sir Frederick Leith-Ross was similar to views which Ambassador Winant had expressed.
