The South African Minister (Gie) to the Assistant Secretary of State (Acheson)

Dear Mr. Acheson: I have received your letter of 21st November in regard to the proposal that the Lend Lease operations between the Union of South Africa and the United States of America be placed on a cash basis, and wish to inform you that I am immediately telegraphing the Union Government on the matter.

I shall not fail to communicate with you when I receive further instructions.

Yours sincerely,
