Memorandum of Conversation, by the Secretary of State
[Washington,] March 10, 1944.
The British Ambassador came in at his request. He said he had proposed to Mr. Berle that aviation conversations be held in London instead of Washington and that Mr. Berle could drop over there quietly and have some informal conversations, that he might stop off at Ottawa en route and talk informally with Canadian officials, and that the Russian Government could be dealt with in a way satisfactory to all so far as conversations are concerned. I said to him that I would let him know soon—that the matter would have to go to the President.
