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.
