UNCORRECTED GALLEY PROOF
The following formula might therefore be considered:
That the present Polish Provisional Government be reorganized
into a fully representative government based on all democratic
forces in Poland and including democratic leaders from Poland
abroad, to be termed "The Provisional Government of National
Unity"; Mr. Molotov, Mr. Harriman and Sir Archibald Clark Kerr
to be authorized to consult in the first instance in Moscow with
members of the present Provisional Government and other democratic
leaders from within Poland and from abroad with a view to the
reorganization of the present government along the above lines.
This "Government of National Unity" would be pledged to the
holding of free and unfettered elections as soon as practicable on
the basis of universal sufferage and secret ballot in which all demo-
cratic parties would have the right to participate and to put forward
candidates.
When a "Polish Government of National Unity" is satisfactorily
formed, the three Governments will then proceed to accord it recogni-
tion. The Ambassadors of the three powers in Warsaw following
such recognition would be charged with the responsibility of ob-
serving and reporting to their respective Governments on the carrying
out of the pledge in regard to free and unfettered elections.

The Director of the Office of European Affairs (Matthews), to the Secretary
of State 1
1 Ribbon copy. The authorship is not indicated, but a handwritten notation on
the original reads: "Note: According to Mr. Hiss, this was prepared by 'Doc'
Matthews" and on August 13, 1954, Matthews wrote that he thought he was the
author (640.0029/8-1354). The "suggested paper" referred to as attached has
not been found; presumably it was a draft of the proposal read by Stettinius at the
meeting of the Foreign Ministers at noon on February 9, 1945, ante, p. -
See
also Stettinius' question to Molotov, ante, p. -
[YALTA,] February 9, 1945.
I attach a suggested paper to hand to Mr. Molotov and Mr. Eden
on reparations. It is based on the Russian proposal of basic prin-
ciples. The first two sections follow the Russian proposal literally
with the additional words in the first paragraph suggested by Mr.
Eden.
I think you should likewise ask Mr. Molotov on what price, i. e.,
what year it is intended that the total reparations shall be fixed.
