(1) Mr. Eden and I have pointed out to the Polish Government 
      that no resumption of friendly or working relations with Soviet 
      Russia is possible while they make charges of an insulting character 
      against the Soviet Government and thus seem to countenance atrocious 
      Nazi propaganda. Still more would it be impossible for any of 
      us to tolerate enquiries by the International Red Cross held 
      under Nazi auspices and dominated by Nazi terrorism. I am glad 
      to tell you that they have accepted our view and that they want 
      to work loyally with you. Their request now is to have dependents 
      of the Polish army in Persia and fighting Poles in the Soviet 
      Union sent to join the Poles you have already allowed to go to 
      Persia. This is surely a matter which admits of patient discussion. 
      We think the request is reasonable if made in the right way and 
      at the right time and I am pretty sure the President thinks so 
      too. We hope earnestly that remembering the difficulties in which 
      we have all been plunged by brutal Nazi aggression
