WASHINGTON D.C. MEMORANDUM To: The Honorable Henry Morgenthau From: Maj. . Gen. C. M. Wesson can Director, Division for Soviet Supply Subject: Status of the Soviet Aid Program Attached herewith is your copy of the Status of the Soviet Aid Program as of May 31, 1944, which summarizes the aid furnished to the U.S.S.R. during the First and Second Protocols and eleven of the twelve months of the Third Protocol. 278 SECRET Copy TRA STATUS OF THE SOVIET AID PROGRAM AS OF MAY 31,1944 # Prepared for the President's Soviet Protocol Committee by the Foreign Economic Administration June 30, , 1944 SECRET STATUS OF THE SOVIET AID PROGRAM PERFORMANCE DURING MAY, 1944 (All tonnage data are long tons unless otherwise specified) Shipments to the Soviet Union from United States and Canadian ports during May totalled 578,000 tons, 52 percent in excess of the average monthly rate promised in the Third Protocol. Shipments during eleven of the twelve months of the Protocol period have totalled 5,360,400 tons, 28 percent above the total required for the period to date. May clearance via the Pacific route totalled 264,300 tons, the second largest quantity shipped by that route in any month since the beginning of the program. Clearances via the Persian Gulf totalled 314,100 tons, the largest quantity ever shipped by this route in any single month. Shipments during May by both routes were the fourth largest since the beginning of the program, being exceeded only by the shipments of November, December, and January of this past season which were swelled by large movements via the North Atlantic route, which was not used in May. June clearances are expected to total 535,000 tons. This will bring Third Protocol shipping performance to 5,895,400 tons, exceeding commitments by 1,342,000 tons or 29 percent. This excess compares with a Second Protocol deficit of 1,095,500 tons occasioned by shipment of only 2,923,000 tons of the 4,018,500 tons planned. Cargo shipped during May and the Third Protocol period to date is summarized as follows: May Tons Percent July-May Percent Tons U. S.

This is our 56 in response to WRB 50 (Department's 1368 of July 11, 2 p.m.) It is presently supporting approximately 80 Jewish children and women of Finnish nationality and about 110 stateless Jews, partly with the assistance of financial support supplied by joint. While it is willing to assume administrative responsibility for any additional Jews arriving from Finland, it is stressed that American funds will be required to underwrite the maintenance costs. Mosaic estimates the cost of maintaining children at 150 kronor monthly and adults at 200 monthly. While the over all estimates supplied by Mosaic are somewhat confused, it would appear that three months support for the 500 refugees proposed in our no. 50 for WRB (Legation's 2570, July 11, 9 p.m.) would approximate $75,000 assuming that most of them are unemployables and arrive here without any resources. No transportation costs apparently are involved since these refugees are arranging their own transportation.

We have explored extensively with Polen-Hjalpen of Malmo the nature of their relief activities in Poland and its facilities for extending its scope of operations. This organization is working very closely with the Polish and Swedish Red Cross and appears to have been effective in carrying out its operations. It is regularly sending food parcels, stamped Swedish Red Cross, to Poland and clear confirmation of delivery of these parcels to ultimate beneficiaries has been obtained. It has also been very active in sending relief supplies to Polish orphanages, nurseries and children's hos- pitals, in Warsaw and elsewhere, and due to good con- nections with appropriate persons inside Poland, it is understood to be obtaining remarkable results. These supplies have included paper clothing, condensed milk, vitamins, egg powder, other dried foodstuffs and nursery equipment. On several occasions, even recently, an entire railroad car of supplies has been sent to these children's homes, and it is stated proof of delivery has always been obtained. While it is difficult to foresee to what extent the changing war outlook will alter current methods of Polish relief operations, it is clear that at the moment, at least, Polen-Hjalpen is operating actively with an established record of effectiveness. At the present moment it has received urgent requests from Poland for substantial amounts of paper clothing for children as well as for basic foodstuffs and vitamins. It does not have the funds to meet requirements in full and could make immediate use of $25,000 to carry out its program. We have discussed Polen-Hjalpen with the Polish Legation here, which speaks most highly ofits effectiveness and expresses the strong hope that American financial assistance can be obtained to enable the organization to carry out its current program.

THIS IS WRB CABLE TO BERN NO. 86 HULL PARAPHRASE OF TELEGRAM RECEIVED FROM: The American Legation. Bern TO: The Secretary of State, Washington DATE: July 18, 1944 290 NUMBER: 4578 SECRET The following message is from CcClelland for WRB. An aide-membire giving reaction of the committee to questions raised in number 2198 from the Department and to those which were contained in news telegrams ARFAR 2197 and 2198 dated June 24 was submitted by ICRC to our British colleagues and ourselves on the 7th of July (please refer to number 3877 of June 17 from the Legation and 430 of July 6 and also to number 2198 dated June 28 from the Department.) Not to civilian internees assimilated to Geneva Convention does the whole project under consideration refer, but only to deporteesian to aid for political prisoners in concerntration camps. The aide-memoire of ICRC follows in substance: It is the conviction of ICRC that an official approach to German authorities asking permission to distribute relief packages generally to unassimilated persons who are confined in camps would not only be refuged flathy but would jeopardize the practical results desired in the future as well as those achieved heretofore. There has been a consistent refusal by the authorities of Germany to assimilate such detainees to the status of prisoners of war or civilian internees either by analogy or directly. (During an interview on the 4th of July it was orally stated by an ICRC collaborator that the German reply to a request for the assimilation of such detainees has always been that control over them is an internal affair and that they were considered "criminals".) In the case of certain concentration camps ICRC is able to assure the delivery of individual packages and to verify regularly that they are received by the prisoners for whom they are intended, in spite of this official attitude of the Germans. In the past ICRC delegates have been able to make unofficial visits to these camps and they have no reason to doubt that in the future they will be able to repeat such visits. The distribution by a delegate of packages individually and personally in concentration camps is no more possible than it is in prisoner of war camps, for practical reasons. The delegates of ICRC have many possibilities of verifying the fact that in the camps to be specified relief goods are consumed by beneficiaries for whom they are intended and are not diverted both by means of visits which will be made regularly on a basis analogous as concerns frequency to those prisoners of war and through controls exercised independently of the visits which have just been mentioned. ICRC is forced, for these reasons, to request blockade authorities to take into account the realities of the situation and to permit the delegates of the committee the liberty of using control methods available to them which alone allow them to judge whether the distribution of relief goods is carried out satisfactorily, and not to insist on one special form of control 291 - or another. ICRC, in assuming the responsibility for such distributions, agrees on the other hand that if any irregularities are brought to its attention regarding the satisfactory reception of relief goods, it will suspend all shipments immediately. The names of practically all civilian prisoners of certain nationality groups are possessed by ICRC. Although their total number at a given moment is known ICRC has only partial lists for other nationals. Authority is not possessed by ICRC to reveal either the number of names of civilian prisoners in its possession or information regarding the camp's strength which it has been able to obtain through channels which are strictly confidential. However, in proposing to undertake the delivery of a maximum of thirty thousand parcels for concentration camps and thirty-five thousand to the Resienstadt (which can be regarded as a ghetto, not a camp) during the initial month, the approximate number of civilian prisoners to whom it can deliver individual parcels at present is implicitly indicated by the committee. French, Belgian, Dutch, German, Yugoslav, Norwegian and Czech are the principal nationals involved. The delivery of individual parcels to the following camps in Germany is proposed by IGRC: Sachsenhausen-Oranienburg and Vatzweiler, also Dachau, Ravenswueck (women's camp) Buchenwalde Weimar. An examination is being made of the question of similar distributions to camps of Staragradisca, Gredjanisalas and Jasenovac in Crotia. ICRC can visit these camps but if only Jews are to benefit the authroities of Croatia hesitate to allow the distribution of relief. At the present time shipments to camps of Birkinau and Auschwitz in Upper Silesia are not advisable. There will be a further investigation of the situation in Drancy, Compiegne and Belsen, The delegates of ICRC have been able to visit both Drancy and recently the Resienstadt, but no assurance is possessed by the committee that there can be a repetition of such visits. Reports of distribution of each consignment of parcels will be submitted ICRC which will also limit the distribution to persons who are confined inby camps. Since a rapid increase in the number of names of political prisoners known is to be expected as soon as the sending of parcels gets under way, the shipment of an initial consignment of one hundred thousand parcels is recommended by the committee although ICRC is at present able to undertake the distribution of only sixty-five thousand parcels for the first month. The ICRC report ends here. After consultation with James of Amcross, Geneva, and in view of the present difficulties of transportation, it is suggested that there be used for this relief project for prisoners in concentration camps in Germany, a part of the reclaimable portion of foodstuffs from the cargo of the CHRISTINA (about 65% of 80,000 standard food parcels) which has already arrived in Switzerland. For making up a batch of smaller parcels with 292 -3these salvaged goods, ICRC is equipped and ready. The decision of blockade authorities is urgent since this food must be consumed within three months. Only parcels up to a maximum weight of 3 kilos will be accepted for delivery to concentration camps, whether they contain clothing or food, according to information which ICRC has received recently. It is stated by ICRC that if parcels can be shipped for this purpose from overseas to be distributed they must not bear any National Red Cross markings in order that ICRC labels can be affixed by them. As stated above to me, we have concerted action with the British Legation which has wired a similar summary of the ICRC aide-memoire and the CHRISTINA suggestion.

TIME DEPARTMENT OF 298 DIVISION OF INCOMING COMMUNICATIONS AND RECORDS TELEGRAM STATE KD-620 PLAIN London Dated July 18, 1944 Rec'd 7:37 p.m. Secretary of State Washington 5672, Eighteenth DEPARTMENT OF STATE JUL 1 9 1944 DIVISION OF COMMUNICATION A RECORDS FOR SECRETARIES OF STATE AND TREASURY Followin is press summary of articles in London papers for July 18 dealing with conference at Bretton Woods. The TIMES correspondent reports Secretary Morgen- thau's announcement that "agreement on all matters of substance" would be reached Wednesday, but that the closing of the Conference is postponed till Saturday because of technical and drafting demands. Regarding the bank project, this correspondent states "countries that have been eager to secure larger quotas in the fund in order, among other things, to have a greater access to foreign exchange, tend to reverse their position when quotas in the bank imply a larger share of risks to be distributed; but it seems probable that the American argument for the maintenance of the same 299 -2- #5672, Eighteenth, from London of the same graduation will prevail." The DAILY TELEGRA.PH correspondent, Denys Smith, outlines the three chief problems of the bank AS the allocation of subscriptions, the proportion of loans to capital, and voting power on the board of management. He states that "the suggested total of loans which the bank could guarantee varies from six times its total capital subscription to half as much again. The American delegation believe that a conservative limit should be adopted to give the fullest confidence to the American investor." The DAILY WORKER carries a report on the bank based on statements of "an official spokesman." This deals with subscriptions, loans and directorate. The NEWS CHRONICLE (in its American Diary by Noy- roud) also reports the extension of the Conference to Saturday and quotes an "unnamed British delegate" as remarking "one story of this Conference that has been entirely missed is he degree of cooperation reached between the United States and the United Kingdom. Never before have we been so close in our viewpoints on monetary policy." Oscar Hobson in his NEWS CHRONICLE financial column, after noting 300 -3- #5672, Eighteenth, from London after noting that Conference "promises to reap a much greater measure of success than seemed probable at the start" states that the fund seems actually to be "in the bag". He asserts that quota battles will not rage so furiously in the 'bank discussions. He asserts that discussion of the quotas, instead of raging round the formula, was governed by sheer political pressure. He notes that the Latin American countries "have been able to exploit their creditor status as they have in the past known how to exploit their debtor status" to obtain two seats on the executive. But Hobson considers these minor details, and "the main thing is that *HHI the skilled fund is born, and under *** under circumstances in which/ and responsible management is assured." This, he says, should follow the allocation of voting rights which "means that the British Empire and the United States have a clear majority of votes, which, in view of their dominating stature in world finance, is as it should be." The two financial dailies devote much space to the conference. The FINANCIAL NEWS prints the full text of Lord Keyne's address to the Commission on the bank plan, as well as a news article. The FINANCIAL TIMES, besides 301 -4- #5672, Eighteenth, from London TIMES, besides a news despatch, carries comment in its money market column and an editorial. The FINANCIAL TIMES states that first reactions in the city on the quota decisions were favorable, but surprise was expressed over French and Chinese quotas. It was thought that France might have had a larger, and China a smaller, quota. The FINANCIAL TIMES editorial declares agreement on fund quotas is a hopeful augury, but warns that the most difficult phase of all, will be translating the principles into terms of practical trade operations. It asserts that "until these practical (trade) questions have been fully considered, and measures put in train for their ultimate solution, the work at Brotton Woods will lead only to a dead end. It is unlikely that this conference can survey the whole of the ground, and in that case the broader examination should be put in hand as a matter of urgency, so that the world shall not be caught in indecision at the end of the war " An editorial in the YORKSHIRE POST for July 17 states that it is unfortunate that the question of national prestige should be linked with the size of the quota. "Some of the delogates seem to think that the list of 302 -5- #5672, Eighteenth, from London the list of quotas represents a kind of order of merit and that a position near the top certifies that the beneficiary really is a great power. Nothing could be more mischievous than ideas of this sort." The editorial adds that "it would be deplorable if any power, great or other, were to pursue a policy of votecounting" and hopes that "the spirit of international cooperation will prevail over such tendencies."
