Truman Sees No Reason For Halting Red Sales
President Truman said there is no reason to stop selling heavy machinery and farm equipment to Russia for now. He noted Russia has bought 113.7 million dollars of U S goods in nine months, including industrial machinery and freight cars. Officials cannot trace all sales, suspecting transfers via intermediaries. Russia also received locomotives and freight cars made for Soviet railways. In London, Russia delivered a stiff note to Iran over oil concessions, calling the Iranian vote hostile to Soviet interests and threatening strained relations.
