4300. Delsec 867. From the Secretary for Clayton.³⁸ In the light of recent developments I want you to do everything that we properly can to stop further shipments of supplies of any sort by UNRRA for Yugoslavia. I think you will realize the implications of an organization to which the United States contributes 73% continuing to supply a government guilty of such outrageous and unfriendly conduct as Yugoslavia.³⁹
