d. Will it be prepared to participate in any international commodity arrangements that may   
be worked out (at least to the extent that it is an exporter or importer of the commodity in   
question)?
 
     
 
 
e. What place will Russia expect to occupy in (a) participating in or (b) influencing any   
regional economic arrangements that might be worked out, especially in East or Central Europe? If   
it desires a place is it prepared to participate in furnishing capital to these areas which may   
be required for initiating regional arrangements (for example powder or transport development and   
unification, or industrial development, or agricultural rationalization etc. )?
 
     
 
 
General. What part, other than as a full member under the Four Power Pact or a later World   
organization will Russia expect to play in the political affairs of the i mid-European countries,   
or in Spain and Portugal, or in France, and Germany particularly. Will Russia remain true to the   
terms of the Atlantic Charter? Ue should explore Russia's attitude toward an Eastern European   
union or unions as primarily economic and political rather than military protection alliance or   
alliances. Will Russia in fact grant freedom of religion uo its people, thus removing the suspicion   
and fear under which she lives among tke Christian nations? It would seem helpful, in the interest   
of every high stake in the post-war world, even though intangible, for Russia to clarify whether   
her policy toward religion will be such as to eliminate the old antagonism and fears against her   
which arose from her official atheism.
