STATES of
March 21, 1946
The President
The White House
Dear Mr. President:
I have yours of March 20 thanking me for the letter
regarding the Russian situation. I am so happy that you feel
General Smith has the right attitude and that you have great
hopes of his being able to get our relations on a better plane.
I also was much impressed by General Smith's personality and
attitude.
On consulting with General Smith this morning I find
that you did not pass on to him the letter which I sent you
and which he thought would be helpful. I wondered if this
was an oversight or if you felt it would be unwise for him
to have the letter. If you feel it would be unwise for him
to have it I should like to know it so that I can get over
to our Office of International Trade exactly what your atti-
tude is with regard to promoting the maximum of foreign trade
with Russia. We don't want to get out of line with over-all
policy.
Respectfully yours,
ARCHIVES 'NATIONAL RECORDS AND
SERVICE'"

P. S. I may say that Arthur Paul informed Willard
Thorp of the State Department about this particular letter
and about our desire to push forward as rapidly as might be
on the Russian-American trade front. We find Willard Thorp
most cooperative.
