UNCORRECTED GALLEY PROOF
FOREWORD
It has long been the custom of the American Government to release
to the public, after a suitable lapse of time, a substantially complete
documentary record of our country's diplomacy. This custom,
established early in our history, was crystallized by President Lincoln
and Secretary of State Seward through the inauguration of the series
of volumes now entitled Foreign Relations of the United States: Diplo-
matic Papers (then called Papers Relating to Foreign Affairs).
The publication of the Foreign Relations volumes has tended to fall
increasingly far behind the period which they cover. During the past
two decades, this lag has reached nearly 18 years. This gap is now
being gradually reduced, thanks to the cooperation of the Appropri-
"NATIONAL
ation Committees of the two Houses of Congress, and efforts will
ARCHIVES AND
RECORDS
continue to reduce it, due consideration being given to the necessity
SERVICE
of avoiding any harm to our current negotiations with other countries
or to our national security interests.
This volume of documents on the conferences at Malta and Yalta
is the first to appear in a special series of Foreign Relations volumes
on World War II conferences attended by President Roosevelt or
President Truman, along with Prime Minister Churchill or Marshal
Stalin, or both of the latter. The series is part of a special Foreign
Relations publication program prepared by the Department of State,
in response to expressions of interest by several Senators and the
Senate Committee on Appropriations in its report for fiscal year 1954.
In order to make this volume as complete and useful as possible,
the Department of State has included not only its own relevant
papers, but has also had the cooperation of other agencies and indi-
viduals, to whom the Department is grateful for their assistance.
The compilation and professional editing of this volume was done by
the Historical Division of the Department of State. The technical
editing was done by the Editorial Services Division.
Volumes on other conferences, e. g. at Potsdam, Cairo, Tehran,
and Quebec, are scheduled to be published in the near future.
