ternal intrigues and unbalanced representaticn rather than mass
anti-government sentiment.

irnrnediate transfer of one fourth of the -5a~)an use naval fleet to the
USSR and early division of. the Japanese m.::rchant fleet among the
USSR, UK, US and China. The Sovieta arg!'.e that the use of these
ships for repatriation of Japanese and other purposes connected
with the Japanese surrender should be discussed aft-,r the
division has been effected. in connecting on the Sov!.et note,
Embassy Moscow points out that the Soviets are nog. operating
11$ Lend-Lease vessels for their own a sepe.rposes, and have not
replied to inquiries regarding Japanese hipping captured by them.
in view of the fact that SOAP rias the greatest need for shipping

Soviet shipping for such purposes, in the event of a division of
the Japanese fleet.
