Secretary of State,
Washington.
1152, December 29, 1 p.m., (SECTION TIREE).
It was probably this letter which had prompted
Currie to approach Lend-Lease. The British can do
in discussions
little (2) iscussions here until the question of
trucks has been decided. Early in December they
suggested to the Russians that in view of congested
traffic conditions in the Near East it might be ad-
visabla to ship trucl:s for use East of Alma. Atc from
the United States via Vladivostok. The Russians replied
that they did not have ships for this purpose. The
British therefora WERE planning to inquire whether the
United States Government could not transfer bottoms to
the Russians for the transportation of trucks to the
Soviet Far East.
C. The ratio of 46 wa.s. still a basic frature
of Soviet British discussions. Since, however, the
Russians have recently stated that for some time to
come they would not be able to transport more than
2000 tons
