-0- MOLOTOV: It is your right. You can waive it if you like. BYRNES: As to Greece, she has a claim against Italy -- a prior claim. MOLOTOV: Yes, Greece, Albania and Yugoslavia. We can provide a prior claim for Greece and other invaded countries. BYRNES: I can not see reparations from these countries except their war plants. Austria must get relief from UNRRA. MOLOTOV: This has no application to reparations. BYRNES: No country paying reparations is entitled to relief from UNRRA. Let us place our differences on record and report to the Big Three. CADOGAN: Our views accord with those of the American dele- gation. MOLOTOV: Can we place on record this difference in views? The American and British governments favor reparations only from equipment. BYRNES: Only war plants and equipment having no peace- time use. MOLOTOV: Let us say equipment. Tnis reparations, not war booty. BYRNES: I say machinery and equipment from war industries having no peacetime use. MOLOTOV: Let us put that on the record. I shouldmake it TRUMAN clear that no proision is in the UNRRA document that a country paying reparations is not entitled to relief. AND BYRNES: My information isotherwise. We will have to Es look it up. MOLOTOV: Next question is the economic principles for Germany Paragraphs 18 and 19 should be considered. BYRNES: This depends on other economic questions. Let us pass it. MOLOTOV: Next question -- oil for western Europe. BYRNES: Committee is not ready to report. Soviet repre- sentative was to secure information. MOLOTOV: Let us put it off.
