2901. For the President and the Secretary. My 2897, May 24, midnight. Eden just called me on a private wire to say that he has spent the morning going over the draft text with Molotov which I forwarded to you last night. Molotov explained to Eden that the statements made to him by the Prime Minister, Eden and myself convinced him that there Would be serious objections to the Russian frontiers treaty in the United States. He further told him that he had recommended to his Government in Moscow that he be permitted to work out an agreement with the British on Eden’s draft treaty. Molotov expects to get a reply by this evening or tomorrow morning.
