The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant)
A–2536. For Schoenfeld (Czechoslovak Series No. —). Reference your despatch no. 207, November 3, 1944.55 Department does not believe international conference on subject of looting and flight of Axis capital would be profitable at this time. Subject of restitution continues to be explored, and is being discussed with Robbins of the AmEmbassy London. Work is going forward on flight of Axis capital problems, on the operating and policy levels, and it would appear that nothing would be gained by international conference discussion of the subject, at least at this stage. The interest of the Czechoslovak Government, and of other governments in similar positions, is realized, and their cooperation on these subjects, where their interest is clear, will be sought.
