 FROM THE PRESIDENT TO STALIN.
 
THIS WILL ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR MESSAGE OF FEBRUARY 20.
 
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME WE SHALL
 
BE GLAD TO RECONSIDER WITH YOU OUR AGREEMENT RELATIVE TO THE
 
FUNDS WE ARE ADVANCING UNDER THE LEND-LEASE ACT.     AT THE MOMENT
 
THE ALL IMPORTANT PROBLEM IS TO GET THE SUPPLIES TO YOU.
 
     I AM HAVING CANVASSED AT ONCE YOUR SUGGESTION RELATIVE TO
 
CENTRALIZING CONTROL HERE OF MUNITIONS BEING SENT TO RUSSIA.
 
     THE FURTHER NEWS OF THE SUCCESSES OF YOUR ARMY HEARTENS US
 
VERY MUCH.
 
     I WISH TO SEND YOU MY WARM CONGRATULATIONS ON
 
THE  TWENTY-FOURTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE  FOUNDING OF THE RED ARMY.
