The political importance of Czeehoalevekin, the
vital strategic location of Frague, and the high esteen
of the American people for the Gzechoslovak descoratie
system make it imperative that the agreement for 00-
operation between the United States, Great Britain, and
the Boviet Union be carried out in connection with the
liberation and rehabilitation of CaeohosIovakin rather
than permit the Soviet Union to continue ite exclusive
control over this sost important area in Central Europe.
As the factors which have enabled the Soviet Union
to gain exclusive control of all of the other states of
Eastern and Central Europe are not yet present in Czecho-
elovakin the Department of State believes that Pregue is
an excellent ground to test the promise of the Soviet
Government of tripertite cooperation as it is the only
one of the capitals of Eastern and Central Europe which
has not as yet been occupied by the Soviet Army, and
which could probably be occupied by us before the Soviet
forces arrive there. The success or failure of coopers-
tion in Pregue will have e profound effect on our entire
position in Central Europe which would be immensurably
strengthened by our occupation of Prague. The Department
of State firmly believes that the interests of the
United States will best be served by the immediate occupa-
tion of Frague and supports the urgent request ande to
this effect by Prime Minister Churchill and Foreign Seore-
tary Eden.
