NUMBER 42, TOP SECRET AND PERSONAL, FROM THE PRESIDENT FOR THE
PHIME MINISTER.
Your numbers 50 and 51 received, and I am pleased with your
agreement that we should await results of our messages to Tito before
deciding-upon further action.
To clarify understanding of my message 37 (your 51), beginning,
quote: Unless Tito should attack, it is impossible, etc., unquote, it
means definitely that I am unable and unwilling to involve this country
in a war with the Yugoslavs unless they should attack us, in which case
we would be justified in using our Allied forces to throw them back to
a distance that would preclude further attack on our troops.
