The Acting Chief of the Division of World Trade Intelligence ( Russell ) to the British Parliamentary Secretary for the Ministry of Economic Warfare ( Foot )
Dear Mr. Foot: I have your letter of January 6th. I wish to confirm that the statement in the first paragraph of your letter sets forth my understanding of the points made at our meeting on January 5th. The last paragraph accurately sets forth what I said concerning further statements on the subject of post-war listing.
Your comments on the general problem of post-war listing and the means by which it may be possible to reward the friends of the democracies were most interesting. This whole matter, of course, will require further consideration by all of those who are concerned with it. I shall present in Washington, with a considerable measure of personal endorsement, the views which you have expressed, and will convey to you our developing opinions from time to time through. Mr. Thorold12 and our Embassy here.
Sincerely yours,
- G. F. Thorold, Counselor of the British Embassy in the United States.↩
