NUMBER 25, PERSONAL AND TOP SECRET, FROM THE PRESIDENT FOR THE PRIME MINISTER. us - AND Receipt is acknowledged of your No. 21. For your information I have today sent the following to U.J. QUOTE. PRESIDENT TRUMAN TO MARSHAL STALIN. Replying to your message of 24 April, Prime Minister Churchill has sent me a copy of his message to you of April 28. Since you are aware of the position of the United States Government from the messages you have received d from President Roosevelt any myself, I need hardly tell you that in regard to the reorganization of the Polish Government I agree with the views Mr. Churchill has expressed in his message of April 28. This government still considers that the Crimea decisions constitute a fair basis for the settle- ment of the Polish question and should be carried out. The meetings of the three foreign secretaries on the Polish matter have not yet produced a formula which is satisfactory. I consider it of the utmost importance that a satisfactory solution of the problem be worked out as soon as possible. I must tell you that any suggestion that the representatives of the Warsaw Provisional Government be invited to San Francisco, conditionally or otherwise, is wholly unacceptable to the United States Government. To do so would be the acceptance by the United States Government of the present Warsaw Provisional Government as TOP SEORED - 1 -
