#6166, December 21, 10 p.m. (SECTION TWO) from London
 
any number of conferences if it would be helpful but that they could do nothing about the
conference at Chungking as they had no information about its subject matter.
     I was told that Stalin had been informed about the conference to be held in Washington
but this information did not appear in any of Eden's cables which were shown to me.  I personally
believe it is important in the days immediately ahead to keep Stalin sufficiently informed through
Litvinov to give him a sense of being included in war and peace plans. You of course will have
information on this phase of the Washington negotiations that I am not aquainted with here.
