Mr. Welles recently, I gather that the British Government 
      may have indicated sympathy, if not agreement. At all events, 
      Lord Halifax endeavored to secure Welles's acquiescence with 
      this point of view, though he did not report an initiative from 
                     the Russian Government.                
 
                                                            
 
 
These are for information: I make no comment on the merits 
                       of the suggestions.
