Prime Minister to Minister of Production and Minister of Food 16 Nov 44

                                         CANNED MEAT FOR THE U.S.S.R.

I do not understand why the Minister of Food did not mention the fact that would involve us in the payment of twenty million dollars...nor to agree to our providing the 45,000 tons...

2. What I said was of course based upon the Minister of Food's message. But it was said in relation to a jocular remark of M. Stalin's about the advance made since the Stone Age by the discontinuance of cannibalism,,,
