Abstract

Extracts from Henry Stimson Diary, regarding Secretary of the Treasury, Morgenthau's plan for stripping Ruhr and President's alternative idea for internationalisation of Ruhr which Stimson favoured as did Jean Monnet. - Information on Anglo-American summit, September 1944, where Churchill stated his opposition for lend-lease for civilian supplies for France, Stimson concurred as he felt it was a war weapon not a reconstruction weapon. - Note on discussion between President, Stettinius, Morgenthau and Crowley regarding external lend-lease to France, and Monnet's dissatisfaction with shortage of ships, due to pacific operations. Stimson asked by President to be observer on lend-lease Committee and make general survey on what was going on.
