Memorandum of Conversation, by the Acting Secretary of State21

[Washington,] February 27, 1945.

The Soviet Ambassador called on me this afternoon and, in continuation of the talk which I had last week with the Soviet Chargé d’Affaires, brought up the possibility of the inclusion in the Fourth Protocol of a provision for the application of $300,000,000 for industrial equipment prior to July 1, 1945, but the equipment to be made available to Soviet Russia after July 1, 1945.
