As of January 31,1944 Petroleum Refinery Project This project was developed to replace Soviet facilities destroyed by the German Aray. It was designed to produce aviation gas, motor gas; and lubricating oils. of the entire project valued at $42,573,000, equipment valued at $41,855,000 has been made ready for shipment. Equipment valued at $39,564,000 has been exported. Most of the equipment remaining to complete the project consista of valves, instruments, spare parts and tank cars which are expected to be shipped before summer. Nineteen U.S. engineers are in the U.S.S.R. aiding in con- struction. Approval has been given for additions to supplement the facilities already supplied. This additional equip- ment, valued at $25,150,000, is now being engineered. Tire Plant This $8,500,000 project was designed to permit the production of & minimum of 1,000,000 military tires a year from U.S.S.R. supplies of synthetic rubber and natural rubber obtained from shrubs. To utilize idle Ameri- can equipment basic elements of the tire plant of the Ford Motor Company have been acquired. New equipment necessary to complete the production cycle for large sise silitary tires has been purchased. A power plant to supply the necessary steam and electrical power is being supplied at & cost of $11,000,000. Tire production equipment valued at $8,000,000 has been made available by suppliers. Equipment valued at $5,700,000 has been exported. The power plant 18 in production and & small portion has already left the United States. Power Program Under the Second Protocol program 320,000 XR of stationary stean generating equipment has been made avail- able. This includes nine units with & total capacity of 40,500 KW furnished with the petroleum refinery project and two units totaling 11,000 KW furnished with the tire plant. The remaining units of the Second Protocol pro- gras totaling 258,500 EN are rated from 250 EW to 35,000 EN and are for installation as power utility plants. Over 70% of this equipment has been exported. Diesel generating equipment totaling 162,000 KW and 59 industrial steam boilers have been made available for export. Power equipment approved under the Third Protocol has now been placed under contract. Designing and name- facturing are progressing on schedule. The program consists of generating equipment as follows: Stationary Steam Generating Equipment 166,500 IN Mobile Steam Generating Equipment 217,000 EN Stationary Diesel Generating Equipment 106,925 KN Mobile Diesel Generating Equipment 32,000 EN Hydro-electric Equipment 68,150 KW Total 590,575 KW Thirty-two industrial steam boilers and transmission equipment valued at $5,000,000 are also, being supplied.

I feel sure that this success augurs well for the Navy's accomplishment under aid programs now being formulated. In view of the extreme need for heavy diesel engines, the Navy Department say wish to review the situation with the Soviet Purchasing Commission before delivering additional engines of this type due under the Third Protocol. Judging by a recent cable from Mr. Harriman, heavy diesel engines apparently constitute the only example of the accumulation of excessive stocks about which the Military Mission has specific evidence. On the basis of experience, and in the light of the selection of tonnage which has been made, it appears that the Soviet Government has made every effort, con- sistent with the changing conditions of war, to hold requirements to a reasonable level of need. <4341 The proposal of Mr. Harriman to screen Soviet requirements in Moscow has been carefully examined. lie should continue to review Soviet needs in the light of overall requirements of the United States and the other United Nations. Full information respecting all requirements and the resources from which to neet them can be available only in Washington. For items which are in short supply, the Soviet Protocol Committee will no doubt request advice and comments from our 220-E representatives in Moscow to supplement information presented by the Soviet Purchasing Commission in Washington. The decision as to how much, if any operational justification must be required to insure acceptance of & Soviet requirement can best be made here. x FRANKLIN D.

THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY WASHINGTON 19FEB 1944 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT achd 3/6/44 Dear Mr. President: Receipt is acknowledged of your memorandum of February 14 relative to the furnishing of supplies to the Soviets. Every effort is being made to meet the navy commitments under the Third Protocol. Some few items such as marine diesel engines may not be delivered within the protocol period due to tremendously increased U.S. requirements for landing craft. These items are, however, being delivered at a rate which is believed satisfactory to the Soviets. The Soviets are requesting much material not under the Third Protocol. Due to an overall protocol shipping limitation of 5,100,000 short tons, it is necessary for them to compensate for non-protocol items by a corresponding reduction of material under the protocol. Every attempt is made to effect these com- pensatory reductions satisfactorily to the Soviets. So far we have been completely successful in this. I have reliable information that some of the marine equipment being furnished the Soviets cannot be used by them to further the war effort, For example, the Navy has delivered to them 1300 heavy 1200 horse power diesel engines, and is com- mitted to deliver 50 more under the Third Protocol. 102 of these engines are now in open storage in the shipyards at Kamsomalsk on the Amur River and Zelenaldosk on the Volga. It is estimated that it will be about two years before the Hulls now building in these yards will be ready to receive these engines. In the meantime, they are deteriorating with rust and will probably be worthless when needed. Mr. Harriman cited these engines as an example in his dispatch of 9 January to Mr. Hopkins, in which it was recom- mended that the Soviet authorities be required to justify their requirements to the Military Mission in Moscow. Mr. Hopkins answered this dispatch to the effect that the matter is under review and to do no screening of requisitions until so advised. /ranklin D.

We may wish to apply this policy in the case of our plans with certain other countries receiving lend-lease aid. At this stage of the war, we cannot assume that the war will stop at any fixed time. We believe, therefore, that we must act and plan as if the war were going on indefinitely, so as to assure the uninterrupted flow of supplies needed for the war. We believe that there should be maintained, however, the present limit (with its exceptions) of eighteen months from the time of presenting a request as the period within which the materials can be delivered and installed. We propose also, in the interest of an orderly liquidation of the lend-lease program, to enter into separate payment contracts with the lend-lease governments permitting the delivery of the uncompleted parts of such programs on non-lend-lease terms after the termination of hostilities. When regular facilities for post-war credits have been established, it may be that these demobilization contracts x4193 x220 - 2 - contracts could be taken over and refinanced. Certainly these arrange- ments are not conceived of as in any way a substitute for methods of helping to finance the main job of reconstruction. If you agree with the purport of this message, we suggest that x4341 it be sent to Mr. Harriman in Moscow for his guidance, and given to the Protocol Committee as a policy directive for its immediate use in preparing appropriate schedules of supplies. At the same time, we propose to proceed at once to the negotiation with Soviet represen- tatives in Washington of an appropriate payment-contract under the authority of Section 3(c) of the Lend-Lease Act, supplementing the Master Agreement, to cover the period of possible deliveries on certain categories of the Protocol schedules after the termination of hostilities. In these negotiations we shall, of course, consult with officials of the Treasury Department and keep in close touch with the new Committee on the financing of reconstruction plans as to appro- priate credit terms in the contracts. As soon as these negotiations with the Soviet have taken suitable preliminary shape, we may wish to obtain the advice of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives and the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate on the matter. We hope that enough progress can be made to permit a consideration of these problems dur- ing the hearings on the extension of the Lend-Lease Act or the appro- priations under that Act. Acting Secretary of State Enclosure: Foreign Economic Administrator Draft cable to Moscow x5430 AMEMBASSY, MOSCOW. S1 CONSIDENTIAL The Department and the Foreign Economic Administrator have given careful attention to the problems of war and postwar needs of the U.S.S.R. for reconstruction which have been the subject of your 506 of February 14, 12 p.m. and other telegrams. The following are our conclusions with respect to policy and procedure: 1. While hostilities continue this Government will accept requisitions for transfer under the master Lend- Lease agreements of considerable amounts of capital goods needed for the improvement, rehabilitation, or reconstruction of transportation, production and other facilities for the fullest and most vigorous prosecution of the war, in liberated areas as in other parts of the - 2 - Soviet Union. It is proposed that requests for such purposes continue to be handled and screened through the regular mechanism involving the President's Soviet x220-E Protocol Committee and that there be maintained the present limit (with its exceptions) of eighteen months from the time of presenting a request as the period within which the materials requested can be delivered and installed in the U.S.S.R. 2. Some of this material may not have been delivered at the conclusion of hostilities. Obviously, however, our lend-lease program must assure an uninterrupted flow of supplies needed for the war until hostilities are actually concluded. In order to assure an orderly liquidation of these war programs at the conclusion of hostilities, it is proposed that we request the Russians to agree to take any equipment in certain categories not delivered at the conclusion of hostilities - 3 - under a separate contract calling for regular payments on terms of interest and amortization to be laid down. In the first instance the powers of Section 3-C of the Lend- Lease Act will be used to permit such contracts. If an appropriate extension of the powers of the Export-Import Bank mentioned below receives Congressional approval, it may be desirable for that bank eventually to enter into arrangements with Lend-Lease and the U.S.S.R. so that the bank might take over this part of the operation. 3. In the absence of the establishment of a United x4725-D Nations Bank for Reconstruction and Development, we are x971 considering the possibility of obtaining authority to use the Export-Import Bank for the United States share of the financing of regular reconstruction activities not defin- able as war essential. This may require, as previously indicated, amendment of the Export-Import Bank legislation - 4 - both to increase the lending power of the bank and to eliminate default (similer to the Johnson Act) limite- tions which would stand in the way of extension of credits to the U.S.S.R. and certain other European countries. 4. In order to permit private participation - such as that of private financing institutions and of sanu- facturers of heavy equipment - in the extension of credits to the U.S.S.R. and certain other European countries, it may be necessary to obtain the repeal of the Johnson Act. 5. The Department, the Foreign Economic Administration and other interested agencies are now considering with the President the timing of presentation to the Congress of requests for legislation relating to the Export-Import Bank and the repeal of the Johnson Act. In addition, it is proposed to discuss the use of Section 3-C of the Lend- Lease Act for the purposes sentioned in item 2 above in - 5 - connection with hearings on the extension of the Lend- Lease Act or the appropriations under it, if these arrangements with the Soviet reach sufficiently tangible form in time. Otherwise, the policy will probably be discussed with the appropriate committees of the Congress before agreements are finally executed. 6. It is proposed to inform the President's Soviet Protocol Committee of the above policy and procedure decisions and to direct that Committee to establish current Soviet Protocol programs with these considera- tions in mind, authorising the fullest transfer under Lend-Lease of supplies needed to assure the most vigorous prosecution of the war in and from the Soviet Union. 7. No would appreciate your further views on this and the results of any exploratory talks you may wish to have with Mikoyan on this subject. You may also wish to 16- quest Mikoyan promptly to give you two lists of essential - 6 - data in all possible detail. The first of these lists should be, as a minimus, the billion dollar list sug- gested in your 334 of February 1, midnight, and it is suggested that careful explanation of the items be pre- sented so that the President's Soviet Protocol Committee can determine how much of this list may be handled by the straight Lend-Lease procedure suggested above. The second list should be a broader list of the projects in- volved in the fifteen year reconstruction program men- tioned in your 506, so that this Government will have an opportunity to consider the amount and types of equipment involved from the point of view of finance, of our pro- ductive capacity, and of the general economic and commercial policy implications of such a program.

REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT PETROLEUM PRODUCTS Except for a small quantity in drums, the Russians lifted no blending agent from the United States during the month of February, as it was necessary to dry dock the three tankers scheduled to load about 228,000 barrels of this product. No shipments of 100 octane aviation gasoline to the U.S.S.R. were planned for February from the United States, as the entire quantity allocated to the Russians for lifting in that month, 202,500 barrels, was turned over by them to the British in compensation for deliveries by the British from Abadan. Present indications are that liftings during the month of March will amount to about 500,000 to 550,000 barrels of blending agent. Again in March no shipments of 100 octane gasoline are planned to Russia from the United States, as the 270,000 barrels allocated to the Russians will be turned over to the British in compensation for deliveries to Russia from Abadan. In view of the Russians' urgent requirement for iso-pentane they have been allocated 6,000 barrels for lifting during March. We are informed by the military authorities that it is now possible to move a maximum of 30,000 long tons of aviation petroleum products per month from Abadan to Russia. This represents an increase of 200 per cent since December. The DONBASS, one of the tankers turned over to the U.S.S.R. under Lend- Lease last year, has been withdrawn from Russian service and returned to the War Shipping Administration because of her extremely bad condition. Another tanker, of approximately twice the capacity of the DONBASS, will be assigned to the Russians in March in replacement. The following tabulation summarizes the petroleum product shipments that have been made to the U.S.S.R. during the period June 22, 1941 (the date of the German invasion of Russia) to February 29, 1944. In keeping with our usual practice, we have eliminated shipments diverted to the United Kingdom, and have included replacement shipments from the United Kingdom. Also included are aviation gasoline and blending agents shipped from Abadan during the period July 1, 1943 to January 31, 1944. Replacement of these shipments has been or will be made out of United States controlled sources.

Ceresine and Paraffin Wax 4,158 Short Tons PETROLEUM REFINING PLANTS The failure of the Russian engineers to approve the preliminary engineering of the refining equipment offered in the Urgent Section of the Third Protocol has greatly delayed the execution of this Section. The Foreign Economic Administration has called attention to the importance of the execution of requisitions for the Urgent Section in order that transfer of the required funds to Treasury Procurement may be undertaken as soon as possible, as any delay beyond March would be serious. At a meeting held for the special purpose of assisting in the settling of detailed points in relation to this matter, the members of the Soviet Commission unfortunately stated that they would be unable to go into these details without additional members of their engineering staff. At this meeting the Russian engineers reported that changes would have to be made in the operation of the Houdry unit for Plant 4 and in the type of alkylation unit to be supplied for Plant 3. This may mean that the units to be supplied under the Urgent Section will be quite different from the respective units previously furnished under the Second Protocol. These changes together with the failure of the Russian engineers to approve promptly the preliminary engineering may result in the impossibility of executing the program within the Third Protocol period. This situation has been impressed upon the Russian Commission. Additional discussions were held with the Russians and E. B. Badger & Sons Company, and it is now expected that the engineering details will be finally settled at a meeting to be held early in March. It is further expected that the decision as to the units to be supplied under the Urgent Section will also be made early in this month. A report made to FEA by Ambassador Harriman regarding the progress of the plants in Russia was received through FEA. Five of the plants furnished under the Second Protocol are scheduled for completion in December 1944 and the sixth plant is expected to be finished in February 1945. The construction personnel comprises about four times as many men as would be engaged in the United States on work of a similar character. The main causes of this are the lack of mechanical equipment and the apparent lower productivity of labor. MAR 21-1973 DECLASSIFIED 2 RO 11652. Sec. 8(E) and 5(D) (ii) The Russians seem to be highly appreciative of the excellent work the chief American engineer is doing and the latter regards very highly the technical ability of the top Russian engineers. OILFIELD EQUIPMENT A report showing the December 31, 1943 status of the First and Second Protocol allotments from the United States to the U.S.S.R., excluding new refinery installations was completed and submitted to the FEA on February 10. This summary indicates that of the total quantity ordered, about 88.1 per cent has been fabricated and about 61.3 per cent has been exported. Investigation of all specific requests for equipment for the 1944 Arctic Program was completed early in February. Letters covering our recommendations for approval were submitted to the War Production Board and FEA on February 7. During the first week in February the Soviet Commission requested that the FEA withhold further action on the Arctic requisitions already submitted until it had decided exactly what materials were to be included in the various programs. Examination of this matter was necessary by virtue of the fact that the limits of the Third Protocol offering were exceeded by the total quantities of material which had been contemplated by the Commission for the various programs. Because of the necessity of completing production of the material for the Arctic in time to permit arrival in Russia during the relatively short ice-free period, the Soviet Commission was repeatedly urged to avoid delays in its decision. On February 25 the Commission finally requested that action be taken on six of the Arctic requisitions and during the first week in March the request was extended to three additional requisitions. Since our processing of them has been completed and FEA's approval has been given, Treasury Procurement will place contracts for all items that can be produced by the end of June. The Commission has indicated that material made available by that date will be in sufficient time to allow for Arctic shipment. RECOMMENDATIONS We have no recommendations to make at this time.

Ceresine and Paraffin Wax 4,150 Short Tons PETROLEUM REFINING PLANTS The failure of the Russian engineers to approve the preliminary engineering of the refining equipment offered in the Urgent Section of the Third Protocol has greatly delayed the execution of this Section. The Foreign Economic Administration has called attention to the importance of the execution of requisitions for the Urgent Section in order that transfer of the required funds to Treasury Procurement may be undertaken as soon as possible, as any delay beyond March would be serious. At a meeting held for the special purpose of assisting in the settling of detailed points in relation to this matter, the members of the Soviet Commission. unfortunately stated that they would be unable to go into these details without additional members of their engineering staff. At this meeting the Russian engineers reported that changes would have to be made in the operation of the Houdry unit for Plant 4 and in the type of alkylation unit to be supplied for Plant 3. This may mean that the units to be supplied under the Urgent Section will be quite different from the respective units previously furnished under the Second Protocol. These changes together with the failure of the Russian engineers to approve promptly the preliminary engineering may result in the impossibility of executing the program within the Third Protocol period. This situation has been impressed upon the Russian Commission. Additional discussions were held with the Russians and E. B. Badger & Sons Company, and it is now expected that the engineering details will be finally settled at a meeting to be held early in March. It is further expected that the decision as to the units to be supplied under the Urgent Section will also be made early in this month. & report made to FEA by Ambassador Harriman regarding the progress of the plants in Russia was received through FEA. Five of the plants furnished under the Second Protocol are scheduled for completion in December 1944 and the sixth plant is expected to be finished in February 1945. The construction personnel comprises about four times as many men as would be engaged in the United States on work of a similar character. The main causes of this are the lack of mechanical equipment and the apparent lower productivity of labor. DECLASSIFIED MAR 21 1973 2 E.G. 11652, Sec. 3(E) and 5(D) or (E) The Russians seem to be highly appreciative of the excellent work the chief American engineer is doing and the latter regards very highly the technical ability of the top Russian engineers. OILFIELD EQUIPMENT A report showing the December 31, 1943 status of the First and Second Protocol allotments from the United States to the U.S.S.R., excluding new refinery installations was completed and submitted to the FRA on February 10. This summary indicates that of the total quantity ordered, about 88.1 per cent has been fabricated and about 61.5 per cent has been exported. Investigation of all specific requests for equipment for the 1944 Arctic Program was completed early in February. Letters covering our recommendations for approval were submitted to the War Production Board and FEA on February 7. During the first week in February the Soviet Commission requested that the FEA withhold further action on the Arctic requisitions already submitted until it had decided exactly what materials were to be included in the various programs. Examination of this matter was necessary by virtue of the fact that the limits of the Third Protocol offering were exceeded by the total quantities of material which had been contemplated by the Commission for the various programs. Because of the necessity of completing production of the material for the Arctic in time to permit arrival in Russia during the relatively short ice-free period, the Soviet Commission was repeatedly urged to avoid delays in its decision. On February 25 the Commission finally requested that action be taken on six of the Aretic requisitions and during the first week in March the request was extended to three additional requisitions. Since our processing of them has been completed and FEA's approval has been given, Treasury Procurement will place contracts for all items that can be produced by the end of June. The Commission has indicated that material made available by that date will be in sufficient time to allow for Arctic shipment. RECOMMENDATIONS We have no recommendations to make at this time.

Stettinius, Jr., to the effect that you be advised monthly of the status of the Soviet Supply Program, I have prepared the attached brief statement of the major current factors as of today. The regular monthly statistical report on the entire program for the period ended February 29, 1944, will follow in due course as soon as the information has been gathered and correlated. State x220 x4193 By J. Schauble Date Date 21972 SECRET SECRET March 10, 1944 SOVIET SUPPLY PROGRAM I. Shipping February was the poorest shipping month since last July. Clearances from North America totalled only 363,000 long tons, as compared with 610,000 long tons exported in January, and 654,000 long tons exported during the record month of December. The reduction in clearances had been partially fore- seen. Early in February an unexpected opportunity was presented to despatch more vessels to north Russian ports than had been previously planned. Since the route to north Russian ports was more desirable for the United States and the U.S.S.R. because of shorter turn-around and more convenient inland transportation, the opportunity was seized. Some of the vessels planned for the Persian Gulf were transferred to the route to the north as time was too short to obtain other vessels. This shift affected February statistics on shipments, since the vessels which would have de- parted in February if they had gone to the Persian Gulf, were delayed until March to meet the convoy date to the north. Unforeseen events also reduced departures. The win- ter settled down on the Pacific route. Ice conditions became so severe that even some icebreakers became stranded and vessels could not return for loading. Storms were common and damaged ves- sels sufficiently to require lengthy repairs in American shipyards so that turn-around was slow. Only 19 vessels cleared from West Coast ports, as compared with 27 in January and 39 in December. March prospects do not appear much better. Departures for north Russian ports and the Persian Gulf will be nearly up to schedule, but West Coast departures will continue at the low rate of February, and for the same reasons. A serious storm on the North Atlantic has already caused several vessels to put back to Halifax or New York. This will reduce the number of vessels available in England for the last convoy to the north and may require a rearrangement of cargoes, since bulky items cannot be sent to the Persian Gulf because of clearance restrictions on the Trans-Iranian Railway. It is to be hoped, however, that current negotiations will lead to an adjustment of the northern convoy schedules so that all vessels may proceed as originally planned. DECLASSIFIED SECRET State Dept. Letter, 1-11-72 By J. Schauble Date FEB 2 1972 SECRET - 2 - In spite of reduced shipments in February, the pro- gram continues at a rate considerably in advance of that required to meet minimum commitments of the Third Protocol. Total tonnage shipped by February 29, 1944, was 132% of the requirement for the first eight months of the Protocol period. In keeping with your directive of February 14, 1944, to the departments and agencies represented on your Protocol Committee, every effort is being made to continue shipments to the full capacity of the routes, even though minimum commitments of the Third Protocol are being exceeded. II. The Character of the Cargo Foodstuffs remain of high priority and constituted in February approximately 33% of total shipments. Due to the reduced total this resulted in clearance of only 123,500 long tons as com- pared with 214,400 long tons shipped in January. Truck shipments were reduced to 6,706 in February as compared with 13,118 cleared in January. Reduction was due to load- ing plans rather than inadequate production. Other transportation equipment included 30 locomotives and 286 railroad flatcars. Industrial equipment accounted for 7% of total clearances. Heavy lifts were sent by the route to north Russian ports. When this route is discontinued for the spring, there will be a temporary lull in shipment of this type of equipment until the ice conditions on the Pacific route disappear. Petroleum products accounted for 9% of the total clear- ances, although nearly half of this represented shipments to the U.S.S.R. from Abadan for U.S. account. Tanker loadings were smaller than usual, being 8% of the total. This was due in con- siderable measure to lengthy repairs required by same of the West Coast vessels. III. Airplanes February departures fell back from the January record of 546 to 461, due principally to a smaller number of planes flown via Alaska. The Alaskan route remains, however, the principal one DECLASSIFIED State Dept. Letter, 1-11-72 SECRET By J. Schauble Date FEB 2 1972 SECRET - 3 - as 236 planes departed, as compared with 57 ferried across the South Atlantic and 168 carried by water. Of the 461 planes delivered, 346 were for the account of the United States, while 115 were delivered to meet U. K. Proto- col Commitments. Total deliveries for both accounts since the be- ginning of the program in October, 1941, have reached 8,833. The backlog of planes awaiting assembly at Abadan, which caused the Protocol Committee concern in September has been entirely removed. Only 59 planes were awaiting assembly at Abadan on February 29, 1944, in addition to the 100 which were in process of assembly or being serviced. By J.

WASHINGTON Lend Lease March 10, 1944 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT I X 220 The Soviet-Aid program fell off sharply in February from the high levels prevailing in December and January. Cargo lifted in ocean shipping totalled 356,546 long tons compared with 599,667 long tons in January, and 643,278 long tons in December. This decrease was caused, first, by the large decline in Pacific operations due to heavy ice in the Strait of La Perouse, and, second, by the reduction in Atlantic sailings from the previous high levels because of the severe shortage of available shipping in late February. Notwithstanding this reduction during the month of February, 132 per cent of the Third Protocol requirement has been met. The 974,000 and some odd tons that have been shipped in excess of the target of the Third Protocol have brought the deficit in the Second Protocol down to about 120,000 tons, and un- less wholly unforseen developments occur this will be more than eliminated be- fore this protocol year ends. The position with respect to Soviet cargo cleared, including Abadan petroleum shipments, was in long tons as follows on February 29.

A consolidation of the targets and of the performance records of the Second Protocol and of the Third Protocol to February 29 gives the following result: Target Liftings Deficit in Liftings Second Protocol 4,018,500 2,923,000 1,095,500 Third Protocol 3,035,714 4,010,424 974,710 (surplus) (July-February, incl.) Total 7,054,214 6,933,424 120,790 The forecast (including Abadan petroleum) is as follows: March 424,000 long tons April 368,000 long tons II Operations on the route to Murmansk and the White Sea continued during February at the maximum rate which the ports can absorb. During early January discussions were undertaken leading to the decision on January 15 to sail a fifth northern convoy, JW-58, for which we agreed to provide 17 dry cargo ships. Then on February 7 an agreement was reached with the British to sail a sixth convoy, JW-59, for which our quota was 18 dry cargo ships. It was necessary to provide all of these latter ships at the expense of the Persian Gulf shipping, then shortly to present, because of the extremely tight shipping position resulting from heavy military demands at that period and of the impossibility of moving forward sufficient additional cargo on short notice. The British Admiralty subsequently decided to consolidate these two convoys in one group to sail about March 27 and to be known as JW-58. Eighteen dry cargo ships carrying 124,941 long tons intended for 3. this convoy departed from their loading ports in February. (Exhibit A) The February sailings also include two B.M.W.T. tankers which sailed from the United Kingdom in February in the previous convoy, JW-57, carrying cargoes of aviation gasoline and alcohol totalling approxi- mately 16,934 long tons on United States account. These cargoes are to be replaced by liftings from the United States. Thus the February move- ment amounted to 20 ships carrying 141,875 long tons. An additional seventeen ships carrying approximately 120,000 long tons and intended for JW-58 sailed on March 6. (Exhibit B) No further sailings are expected. Convoy JW-57 sailed from Loch Ewe on February 20 in one section and arrived safely at Kola Inlet on February 28 without enemy interference. Its composition was as follows: W.S.A. dry cargo ships carried over from JW-56 account weather damage 5 W.S.A. dry cargo ships intended for JW-57 25 B.M.W.T. alcohol tanker ex U.S.A. in January (U.S. account) 1 B.M.W.T. alcohol tanker ex U.K. (U.S. account) 1 B.M.W.T. gasoline tanker ex U.K. (U.S. account) 1 B.M.W.T. dry cargo ships ex U.K. 6 B.M.W.T. fleet oilers 2 Rescue ship 1° Total 42 Four other American liberty ships originally intended for this convoy failed to start. Two of these cracked en route to the United Kingdom and required repairs. Two others grounded in Scotland and will require sub- stantial repairs. Their cargoes are to be transferred to two vessels for JW-58. Operations in the northern ports continue to be reasonably satisfactory. 4. The winter has so far been mild enough to permit the use of the White Sea ports on a large scale, although some ice has recently appeared. Ten ships from JW-57 were directed to this area, of which two have gone up stream to Bakharitsa. Discharge is now proceeding with considerable efficiency considering conditions. During the week ended February 22 it was in excess of 6,500 tons per day at Murmansk. Inland clearance has also improved as a result of the installation of additional equipment. No trouble has been encountered in discharging heavy lifts. Convoy Jw-58, which is scheduled to sail on March 27, is the last on the present schedule. Its composition is now expected to be as follows: W.S.A. dry cargo ships carried over from JW-56 and JW-57 or substituting for vessels therein 5 W.S.A. dry cargo ships intended for JW-58 28 W.S.A. dry cargo ships ex U.K. on U.S. Army account 5 B.M.W.T. dry cargo ships ex U.K. 6 B.M.W.T. gasoline tanker 1 Fleet oilers 2 Total 47 The seven remaining W.S.A. dry cargo ships started for the United Kingdom but were forced to return to North America on account of weather damage or engine trouble and probably will not be able to make the connec- tion. It is hoped that these ships can be sailed in an additional northern convoy, but if this is not possible they will be reloaded and dispatched to the Persian Gulf. Heavy weather in the Atlantic this winter has played havoc with these convoys, which carry heavy deckloads of locomotives, railway cars, and P.T. boats. The officers and men engaged in this dangerous operation deserve great credit for their courage and seamanship. 5. Homeward bound operations continue to be hampered by congestion in the northern ports and by lack of time for homeward loading. Ships are generally able to take only the minimum tonnage required for ballast. Fortunately it was possible to withdraw all American and British ships previously in North Russia in convoy RA-57, which sailed from Kola Inlet on March 2 and numbered 31 ships. One British ship, the Empire Tourist, was torpedoed. Our policy is to use this route to the utmost for Lend- Lease cargo during the operating season. Every effort is being made, how- ever, on returning vessels, to load timber, pulpwood, chrome, and other essential cargo to the maximum extent possible without slowing up the de- livery of aid to Russia or slowing up appreciably the return of vessels. III The Persian Gulf sailings in February were reduced sharply to 16 Soviet-Aid ships and 2 P.G.S.C. ships carrying together 114,428 long tons of Soviet cargo, 11,718 long tons of P.G.S.C. cargo, and 7,241 long tons for the Bahrein petroleum project. (Exhibit C) As previously mentioned, this reduction was due to the diversion of 18 ships to the Murmansk route, which vessels were withdrawn, on the request of our friends, from late February and early March sailings to the Persian Gulf. Because of the ex- isting heavy commitments of vessels to the Army and of the cargo position, there was no alternative, The Russians indicated a clear preference for the northern route, which provides more rapid delivery and can carry heavy and bulky items such as locomotives. This reduction in sailings will produce in April a dearth of Soviet cargo in the Persian Gulf, where the P.G.S.C. has demonstrated its 6. capacity to handle up to about 250,000 long tons of ocean cargo per month. The May arrivals should, however, tax the route to the limit of its capacity. Until and unless the northern route is proved to be available continuously throughout the year we believe that the P.G.S.C. should be maintained at its present size and excellent level of efficiency. One ship, the Daniel Chester French, strayed into a mine field off Bizerte on March 4 and was lost. This is the first sinking of a Soviet- Aid ship in the Mediterranean since August 26, 1943. The rapid construction of the aviation gasoline refinery at Bahrein is generally agreed to be of great importance. Every effort has been made to expedite the movement of this material as it has become available on Soviet-Aid ships. Whenever possible arrangements have been made to compensate the Russians for the space lost. The forecast for March is 24 Soviet-Aid ships carrying about 179,000 long tons. (Exhibit D) April sailings are forecast at 26 ships carrying 200,000 long tons. The Abadan petroleum deliveries on American account are expected to rise to 15,000 long tons in March and to 18,000 long tons in April as a result of recent negotiations. IV In the Soviet Far East trade the expected winter lull has developed. Sailings from the United States and Canada dropped from 27 ships carry- ing 175,962 long tons in January to 19 ships carrying 100,243 long tons in February. In addition one U.S.S.R. ship and two W.S.A. ships departed with cargoes of Soviet bunker coal for Akutan. 7. This decline has been caused primarily by the existence of heavy ice in the Strait of La Perouse, through which vessels have not been able to pass since early February. Soviet vessels have not been able to use the Strait of Tsushima. A large number of west-bound ships con- sequently collected at Petropavlovsk awaiting passage through the ice. Another substantial group of ships was held at Vladivostok. The Soviet icebreaker fleet has, however, succeeded recently in getting several ships through. Because of this situation the Russians had few presenters on the West Coast in February and are expected to likewise be very short of ships in March. March and April sailings are now forecast at 110,000 and 150,000 long tons respectively. It should be emphasized that as long as shipping is icebound there is no advantage in endeavoring to make addi- tional sailings. When navigation is reopened on a regular basis the U.S.S.R. should have ample sailings to keep the route fully employed. At this season of the year Russian vessels are normally put in the shipyards of the West Coast for repair under Lend-Lease. A considerable number are now thus situated. It is our policy to undertake repairs on all Soviet vessels which with respect to age and physical condition warrant the use of the labor, materials, and shipyard facilities required, and which are deemed to be of importance to the war effort. Because of the heavy military and naval demands on the shipyards it has, however, been necessary to refuse to repair a small number of ships which it was felt did not meet these conditions. In order to reduce further the strain on the repair facilities, and to improve the efficiency of operation of the Soviet fleet, a proposal 8. has been made to the Russians to exchange during the next three months six new liberty ships for nine old American ships totalling an equivalent amount of tonnage, which were transferred to the Soviets under Lend- Lease in 1942 and 1943. These ships are all over 20 years of age and have been engaged in a very hard trade, with the result that large-scale re- pairs are required. Although they were the best available at the time of transfer, it is believed desirable to retire them to easy trades. For the same reason arrangements have been made to substitute the modern Diesel tanker Daylight of 14,606 D.W.T. for the old Lend-Lease tanker Donbass of 7,680 D.W.T.

March 17, 1944 Lend Lease IN REPLY REFER TO: My dear Mr. President: Attached hereto is a tabulation showing progress made during February, and during the eight months ending February 29, 1944 towards fulfilment of Third Protocol materials and equipment production programs for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. All phases of the program continue to go smoothly. During February, mill delivories of certain materials, notably copper base alloys, equaled those of any preceding month since inauguration of lend-lease aid to the USSR. With the heavy February shipments of copper base alloys, the large deficit accumulated during the early months of the Third Protocol as a result of the slowing down of production because of concern over stockpiles was more than made up. Thus, total deliveries by the end of February exceeded the amount promised for the first eight months of the Protocol period. As indicated in the tabulation, shipments of industrial equip- ment are currently under the average monthly quantities promised. This is due to the fact that, because of lead factors, deliveries against new Third Protocol orders have not begun on a substantial scale, while & large part of old orders carried over into the Third Protocol period have already been completed. Production schedules are such that it can be expected that during the next four months new Third Protocol orders will be completed and deliveries will again rise above the average promised. In addition to carrying on activities to insure fulfilment of terms of the Third Protocol, the War Production Board, in accordance with your memorandum of February 14, 1944, is currently making prepara- tions for a Fourth Protocol program. As pointed out in my previous re- port, arrangements are being made by the War Production Board and the Foreign Economic Administration for the immediate placement of advance Fourth Protocol orders for industrial equipment to the extent necessary to insure that there will be no interruption in the flow of such equip- ment to the USSR. At the same time, plans are being made for the schedul- ing of steel, certain chemicals, brass mill products, and other important FORVICTORY BUY x220 UNITED STATES WAR x4193 BONDS AND STAMPS - 2 - materials during at least the first six months of the new Protocol period. The Soviet Government has not yet formally submitted its Fourth Protocol requirements so that these plans are necessarily tentative. However, it is felt that through this procedure the way is being prepared for immediate and smooth action when the program is formally presented. Respectfully yours, Wh lulson Donald M. Nelson x4735 The President The White House Washington, D. C.

The President The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President: Shipments of agricultural commodities to the USSR during February totaled 128,288 net short tons, 93,428 tons less than the January total shipped. This decrease in the February shipping program was a result of bad weather in the Pacific which delayed boats and made repairs necessary and so reduced the amount of shipping space available. Flour held the highest shipping priority on the February shipping schedule and the total wheat flour and cereal shipped for the month amounted to 53,975 tons, 20,642 tons more than the monthly requirement for the commodity under the third protocol. Next in importance on the February program for bulk items was Sugar with 22,020 tons sent and Soya Flour and Grits with 7,285 tons sent during the month. Shipments of Animal Fats and Fat Cuts totaling 15,126 tons, Canned Meat, 12,104 tons and Vegetable Oil, 6,318 tons ranked next in importance on February's program. The only commodity showing increased shipments during February was Dried Eggs with 2,941 tons, 1,465 tons above the January figure. The March shipping program requested for the USSR is reduced even from the February schedule. Flour still holds the highest priority with 30,000 tons scheduled for shipment. The March request for 21,821 tons of Canned Meat and 20,000 tons Animal Fats and Fat Cuts indicate increases over the February program for these commodities. Sugar, Vegetable Oil and Dried Eggs also appear as important items on the March schedule of shipments. Respectfully, *220 x4193 Administrator Enclosure X1-HH.

PSF March 30, 1944 My dear Mr. Secretary: I have considered the letter of January 25, 1944, from the Acting Secretary of the Navy and the parallel letter of January 22, 1944, signed by the Acting Secre- tary of War. It seems to me desirable to maintain in one place ultimate responsibility for lend-lease retransfer pol- icy, like other aspects of our general policy under the Lend-Lease Act and the Lend-Lease Master Agreements. The retransfer of defense articles and defense information x335 raises issues closely linked to the broad development of lend-lease policy, beyond the responsibilities of the Navy Department under its lend-lease appropriations. Such problems cannot be considered apart from cognate problems under the Act and the Agreements. If we are to achieve a uniform and coordinated policy with reference to these questions, it is preferable to retain unity of x20 ultimate control in the State Department and the Foreign Economic Administration. I am sure that Mr. Crowley will revise the existing letters delegating to you certain powers under Section 4 of the Lend-Lease Act, to permit the retransfer of defense articles, materials and information in conform- ity with the policies and recommendations of the Munitions Assi gnments Board. With that end in mind, I am sending x4753 him a copy of this letter, and of the similar letter I am sending to the Secretary of War, together with copies of your original communication to me. Very sincerely yours, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT The Honorable Frank Knox, Secretary of the Navy. x18 hmo March 30, 1944 My dear Mr. Secretary: I have considered the letter of January 22, 1944, from the Acting Secretary of War, and the parallel let- ter of January 25, 1944, signed by the Acting Secretary of the Navy.

My dear Mr. President: Section 4 of the Lend-Lease Act provides that all contracts or agreements under which lend-lease articles are furnished to a foreign country shall contain a clause in which the foreign govern- ment undertakes: ..... that it will not, without the consent of the President, transfer title to or possession of such defense article or defense information by gift, sale, or otherwise, or permit its use by anyone not an officer, employee, or agent of such foreign government." All lend-lease agreements with foreign countries, including the Master Lend-Lease Agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom, executed on 23 February 1942, contain & clause in compliance with Section 4. In your Executive Order No. 8926 of 28 October 1941, creating the Office of Lend-Lease Administration (now included in the Foreign Economic Administration), you authorized the Lend-Lease Administrator "to exercise any power or authority conferred upon the President by the Act" (with certain exceptions not here relevant) and thereby gave the Lend-Lease Administrator the power to consent to retransfers. Acting upon this authority, the Lend-Lease Administrator gave a so-called blanket consent to retransfers of defense articles by the Government of the United Kingdom, subject to certain limitations and conditions expressed in the letters granting said consent. It is nov proposed, with the concurrence of the Washington Munitions Assignments Board, to revise the terms and conditions upon which foreign governments will be permitted to retransfer naval lend- lease items, (including defense articles and information). Briefly, it is proposed, subject to your approval, that there be delegated to the Secretary of the Navy full authority to consent to the retransfer of naval lend-lease items, such authority to be exercised in conformity with policies and recommendations of the Munitions Assignments Board, and that no lend-lease government shall be permitted to retransfer naval lend-lease items without the consent of the Secretary of the Navy. If this be done, the blanket consent to retranefer by the United Kingdom given by the Lend-Lease Administrator will be revoked.
