The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Bullitt)
Washington, July 7,
1934—3 p.m.
149. Your 173, July 7th. Contrary to Litvinoff’s statement to you, Troyanovsky has not made the inquiry alleged and on the other hand has indicated his hope that he would be instructed to take up debt negotiations here.
[Page 115]At a recent meeting of the Export-Import Bank there was much talk of the futility of maintaining the bank, which involves expense, if the Soviet has no intention of making a real effort to effect an agreement.
