The Ambassador in Turkey (Steinhardt) to the Secretary of State

646. In conversation with the Minister for Foreign Affairs this morning he informed me that he had received a telegraphic résumé from the Turkish Embassy in Washington of the proposed master Lend-Lease agreement and inquired whether he might borrow my copy pending the receipt by him of the draft submitted to the Turkish Embassy in Washington. He remarked that the provisions of the agreement which gave the Turkish Government some concern were those dealing with postwar economic arrangements particularly tariffs.
