REGARDED AS CLOSED
AID TO RUSSIA INCIDENT
NEW YORK, March 10.
"After the receipt of a report from the United States Ambassador to Moscow, Admiral Standley, giving fuller details of his remarks at the Press conference, the United States Government apparently considers the incident closed," says the Washington correspondent of the "New York Times."
"The inclination in Washington was to regard the first reports as exaggerated. Admiral Standley's report today indicated that he was simply expressing his personal disappointment at the manner in which the Russian people were informed of the American aid.
"Admiral Standley realised that Moscow had publicised the extent of the aid, but he felt it was done in such a manner that the people did not know whether it came under lend-lease or as a gift through the Red Cross or the other relief agencies."
The correspondent says that in the light of this explanation, as well as the Moscow broadcast on Saturday's statement by the Lend-Lease Director, Mr. Stettinius, giving the latest figures of material sent, diplomatic circles have expressed their confidence that good relations will continue between Russia and America.
