Telephone Conversation of The Secretary and Mr. Harriman
In a conversation which Mr. Acheson had with Ambassador
Harriman this morning Ambassador Harriman mentioned his
deep concern over the proposed aid to Yugoslavia. He said there
seemed to be three agencies which might extend aid - the ECA,
the Export-Import Bank and Commodity Credit. At present the
situation seemed to be that the lawyers at each organization were
busy writing memoranda as to why their particular organization
should not undertake the aid. He thought that it was necessary
that someone get the three organizations together and find a
solution to the problem which might be that all three would
contribute to the solution.
The Secretary said that he had learned of this situation
yesterday and had given directions that action must be taken
moving toward a solution.
Ambassador Harriman said he thought that the matter should
be taken hold of while the President was away and that by the time
of his return the proposition should be ready to be put to the
President. He suggested that someone at the Department take
hold of the matter. He said Mr. Tannenwald in his office was
thoroughly familiar with the question. He mentioned also, inciden-
tally, that General Marshall was extremely interested in having
the matter worked out since he is afraid if it is not worked out
it will have an adverse effect on the Yugoslav military establish-
meht.
