You may have noted a long cable from London, dated July 7th 
      (No. 2887). Eden asks Winant to comment on a resolution by which 
      the "Allied Governments" (namely, Britain, Greece, 
      Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland and Yugoslavia), 
      agree: (1) that it is the common aim of these governments to 
      see that food and raw materials shall be made available for the 
      post-war needs of these countries when liberated; (2) that plans 
      of each government are to be coordinated; (3) that they will 
      collaborate in the preparatory measures already taken by Britain 
      and will collaborate "to the fullest extent of the treaty 
      power" in pursuing the action required; (4) that they will 
      prepare estimates of food and raw materials and priority lists; 
      (5) that the re-provisioning of Europe is to have prior claim 
      on the shipping resources of each government
