confidential

13. It is of interest that Soviet Minister2 at social gathering January 3rd asked me about accuracy of press report he said he saw that USA would grant additional credit to Finland. I replied that Finns had wanted and been talking about additional American credit for 6 months. Finnish Legation, Washington and American authorities were now discussing matter, and nothing definite had yet been forthcoming.
