Dear Owen:
I appreciated very much your note enelosing a
letter from the Portland Young Men's Christian
Association in regard to the exchange of offi-
cials and educators of the Soviet Union. We
have been endeavoring to do just that but it is
only a one-way stroet.
When Dr. Conant was in Moscow with Secretary
Byrnes he was invited to address the Russian
Acaderty of Sciences but was never allowed to
make the address. Molotov asked him to nake
it and then asiced Byrnes if he couldn't take
a joke whon asked when he wanted him to make
the address.
We have been unable to get either newspaper
bublishers or professors from this country any
travel rights anywhere in Russia. The nembers
of our Embassy staff are not allowed to go any-
where without being accompanied. We have
had
Bussian newspaper men and Russian professors,
and a great many other people of that nature
over here, and have entertained them royally
but we never get a return engâgement. We can't
very well invade the ountry unless they want us.
I am glad to hear from you - have wo dered why I
hadn't.
Sincerely yours,
Harry
Honorable Owren Brewster
