1055. Your 509, February 15, paragraph 4. The Soviet financial experts here have been told informally by the Treasury Department that no view has as yet been formulated regarding the rate of exchange. There is some divergence of opinion among the various interested departments, the range of which has been indicated. The Soviets have been told that we would like to have their ideas and to discuss the matter with them. They were also asked whether they would prefer to have the discussions in Moscow or Washington. A reply as to the last point is expected within the next few days.
