MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Subject: Comments on Prime Minister Churchill'e
Suggested Topics for Discussion at the
Next Meeting of the Heads of Government
With my memorandum of May 30 submitting Prime
Minister Churchill's suggested list of subjects for
discussion for the next meeting of the heads of government
I offered to send you the Department's comments thereon.
A memorandum commenting upon the topics is now attached.
While in general the subject matter covered by
Mr. Churchill is satisfactory and deals with a number of
problems requiring urgent clarification, the form of
presentation, I feel, is unfortunate: Mr. Churchill's
TRENAN
list is so drawn as to give the appearance largely of a
"NATIONAL
bill of complaints against the Soviet Government, which
AND
REGURDS
seems hardly the proper approach to the forthcoming
- SERVICE'*
is
meeting. Presumably he would wish to reword his list of
subjects prior to any communication of it to Marshal Stalin.
Furthermore, several of the problems mentioned by Mr. Churchill
seem to be on the way to settlement and may well be solved
before your meeting.
I am having prepared in the Department:
(1) A suggested list of questions which you may
wish to bring up for discussion, together with
pertinent memoranda. These will include the two points
raised in your memoranda of July 9 concerning procedure
to facilitate interchange of views on the terms of
the European Peace Settlements and the Twenty-five
Year Treaty for the demilitarization of Germany.
(2) A full set of detailed memoranda on policy
with regard to the subjects suggested by the British
Prime Minister;
(3) A complete set of memoranda covering various
policy questions which conceivably may be raised by
Marshal Stalin or may arise in the course of discussion, and
FOP VICTORY
(4) A full collection of pertinent maps.
