EMBASSY OF THE UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS WASHINGTON, D.C. TO THE PRESIDENT FROM J. STALIN I received your message on the 16th December. As there was no mention of the object of the suggested conferences in Chunking and Moscow, and that there was only one day left before their opening, I thought I might be able, in conversation with Mr. Eden, who has just arrived in Moscow, to elucidate the question of the objects of the conferences, and to find out whether they could be postponed for some time. It transpired, however, that Mr. Eden has no information on this point, either. In view of the above, I should be glad to receive from you the necessary details, to ensure that the participation of representatives of the Union of Soviet Socialist Re- publics in these conferences should bring results. Allow me to thank you for the feelings you expressed with regard to the successes of the Soviet army. I wish you all success in your struggle against the aggression in the Pacific. I send you and Mr. Hopkins my warm personal greetings. |
