DEPARTMENT INCOMING DIVISION OF OF CENTRAL SERVICES STATE TELEGRAM TELEGRAPH SECTION ACTIO1 : S INFO S RS-494-0 PLAIN EUR PR Paris A-D Dated August 21, 1945 Rec'd 6:10 a.m., 22nd Secretary of State Washington 5060, twentyfirst Felix Gouin, President of French Provisional Con- sultative Assembly, has requested that a message, read- ing in translation as follows, be transmitted to President Truman: " On this day of the total victory of the United Nations over the forces of evil, allow me, in the name of the members of the Consultative Assembly and in my own name, to rejoice in unison with your great people. France will not forget the generous part taken by the United States in the fight for its liberation. To- morrow, in the reconstruction of peace, it will remain worthy of the noble traditions of its past, thus justify- ing the confidence which your country has kindly dis- played to it in its days of trial.
