The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom ( Winant )

3298. Esdel No. 56. From Berle to Stettinius and the Ambassador. With further reference to your no. 3187 of April 18 (Deles number 20) and Secretary’s reply of this date:

It is my distinct impression that Admiral Land would much prefer to have discussions held here. It is also indicated that it is preferable for political reasons to hold these discussions in Washington. These considerations however do not apply to discussions of the disposition of recaptured ships. [Berle.]
