840.50 UNRRA/8–1445: Telegram
The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant)
Washington, August 16,
1945—noon.
6930. First two numbered paragraphs of revised draft resolution on displaced persons quoted in your 8213, August 14, acceptable to Dept. Paragraph 3 is unclear. Difficulty is that “resources” may refer either to supplies or to funds. Therefore, paragraph might be interpreted as preventing UNRRA using its own supplies in caring for said DPs. We assume it is intended to relate to ultimate payments in accordance with general principles governing imports into Germany. Provision is acceptable if clarified along latter line.
