water ports, although he admitted that in the
past she had. He questioned, however, the advisa-
bility of doing anything about the Straits at the
time, as we were all trying to get Turkey to enter
the. war.
MARSHAL STALIN said there was no need to
hurry about that question, but that he was me rely
interested in discussing it here in general.
THE PRIME MINISTER replied that Great Britain
gaw no objections to this legitimate question,
and that furthermore we all hoped to see Russian
fleets, both naval and merchant, on all seas of
the world.
MARSHAL STALIN
then asked what could be
done for Russia in the Far East.
THE PRIME MINISTER replied that it was for
is
this reason that he had been particularly glad
to hear the Kershal's views on the Cairo commu-
nique, since he was interested to find out the
views of the Soviet government on the Far East
and the question of warn water ports there.
MARSHAL STALIN replied that of course the
Russians had their views, but it would perhaps
be better to await the time when the Russians
would be taking an active representation in the
Far Eastern war. He added, however, that there
was no port in the Far East that was not closed
off, since Vladivostok was only partly ice-free,
and besides covered by Japanese controlled Straits.
THE PRESIDENT said he thought the idea of
a free port might be applied to the Far East
besides, and mentioned Dairen as a possibility.
MARSHAL STALIN said he did not think that the
Chinese would like such a scheme.
To which THE PRESIDENT replied that he
thought they would like the idea of a free port
under international guaranty.
