§ 61. Sir W. Teelingasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what action he is taking over the British claims concerning the Tsarist Bonds, in view of the breakdown of negotiations over the Baltic Bonds and the French Government's claims about the same bonds now being discussed in Moscow during President de Gaulle's State visit.
§ Mrs. WhiteIt was agreed with the Soviet Government that pre-1939 claims should be left in abeyance pending a settlement of the post-1939 claims. We still believe that it should be possible 185W to reach a negotiated settlement of these later claims and the position over Tsarist Bonds has therefore not changed.
