The next day Vishinsky returned to the attack.
is AND
CONTINUEDAY
I replied by attacking the secrecy in the Eastern
Zone and the Russian corporations which controlled
economic life.
The Russian zone was a liability.
We must have data and a statement of Russian
intentions.
I pointed out the economic recovery in the
West, contrasting this with the East.
Among other things, mentioning that
in the Western Zones industrial production
was 90% of 1936.
On the 26th I insisted that the Russians disclose their
intentions on reparations, Russian comporations, occupation
costs, etc.
These should be settled now and not left to
another body at another time.
Vishinsky replied that the Eastern Zone had made
vast progress, that industrial production there
was 96.6% of 1936.
This produced laughter and the statement by
Bevin that he would certainly see that the
refugees learned about the paradise which
they had left.
On the 27th and 28th the same debate continued, with
Vishinsky demanding that we submit our plans or amendments
to his.
Schuman said that this would be done in due course.
Our idea for the first week had been to draw Vishinsky out.
This had been successful.
As we saw how unpalatable his proposals would be
in Germany we hammerred them at length to get the
full publicity impact.
In the meantime we had been working out our own proposals.
We met at the Quai d'Orsay on Saturday morning,
May 28 with Bevin and Schuman and reached agreement
upon this position, which he (Schuman ??) was to
present on Monday.
