      from the Government of Australia will be received as a benefit 
      to the United States under the Act of March 11, 1941. In so far

            services, will be kept by each Government.      
 
                                                            
 
 
7. The aid to be provided each other by the signatory Governments 
      under the agreement of May, 1942, and as indicated above, will 
      be provided on the same terms by each Government to the forces 
      of such of the other United Nations as shall enter into similar 
                     arrangements with them.

      I would suggest that the present note and your reply to that 
      effect be regarded as placing on record the understanding of 
               our two Governments in this matter.          
 
                                                            
 
 
I have the honor to be et cetera, et cetera.
