OCR Page 1 of 49th Meeting
Big Three Conference at Berlin. July 25, 1945
TRUMAN: Shall we discuss the Polish western frontier? I
think the Prime Minister had something to sey.
CHURCHILL: I saw Mr. Beirut this morning. The Foreign Secret-
ary saw the Polish delegation last night. They all agree that
there are about one and a half million Germans in this area.
The issue is all mixed up with the reparation issue, and the
four power zones of occupation.
TRUMAN: Secretary of State Byrnes expects to have further con-
versations with the Poles also. In view of the British and
American conversations with the Poles, it might go over to
s.
Friday. The German fleet and merchantmarine are also on the
agenda. I thought we had agreed on that.

CHURCHILL: Obviously, we must have some concrete proposals.
a
TRUMAN: Secretary Byrnes tells me that Secretary Clayton and
Admiral Land are working on such proposals.
STALIN: Let us postpone it.
CHURCHILL : We must at some time discuss the question of the
transfer of populations. There are a large number of Poles
to be moved from Czechoslovakia. We must consider where they
are to go.
STALIN: The Czechs have already evicted them.
CHURCHILL: The two and a half million of -them? Then there are
the Germans from the new Poland. Will they go to the Russian
zones? We don't want them. There are large numbers still to
come from Sudetenland.
STALIN: So far as the Poles are concerned, the Poles have re-
tained one and a half million Germans to help as laborers. As
soon as the harvest is over, the Poles will evict them. The
Poles do not ask us. They are doing what they like, just as
the Czechs are.
CHURCHILL: That is the difficulty. The Poles are driving the
Germans out of the Russian zone. That should not be done
without considering its effect on the food supply and repara-
tions. We are getting into a position where the Poles have
food and coal, and we have the mass of the population thrown
on us.
STALIN: We must appreciate the position of the Poles. The
