FROM GENERALISSIMO JOSEPH V. STALIN
TO PRESIDENT MR. HARRY S. TRUMAN.
I have received your message of May I9.
To my regret I do not have the opportunity to give
you a more or less certain reply until the final prospects
of the new harvest are ascertained. As it is known the
prospects of the new harvest in our country are made clear
not earlier than at the end of June.
As to the Far East your data on the food supplies
of the USSR in the Far East does not square with reality.
The Far East is one of those regions of the USSR where
bread is usually brought from other regions.
Our million army before entering Manchuria as it
is obviously known to you had had only two months supplies
of food. But the army had to stay in Manchuria for the
reasons known to you about 8 months during which it was
compelled to provide itself with the foodstuff from
local resources and still the Soviet Government was to
bring additional food for its army to the Far East all
the time due to insufficiency of the local resources.
May 26, I946.
