countries are still alive and vigorous, and that their lawful 
      governments are carrying on the war from overseas with all the 
                   resources at their command.              
 
                                                            
 
 
Three. The meeting will be on June 12. It will be quite brief. 
      I shall make a statement and I have no doubt that the allied 
      representatives will also speak. The meeting will be attended 
      by the Dominion High Commissioners, and the Prime Ministers, 
      Foreign Secretaries and other representatives of the allied governments. 
      The Free French movement will be represented. The resolution, 
      of which I am sending you a copy, has already been agreed with 
                    the Dominions and Allies.               
 
                                                            
 
 
Four. I hope the meeting will provide a convincing demonstration 
      of our common tenacity of purpose, but I need hardly say, Mr. 
      President, what an accession of strength it would be if the United 
      States Government felt it possible to be associated in some form 
                 or another with the proceedings.           
 
                                                            
 
 
Five. For text of resolution see my immediately following
