Hopkins Papers

The Presidents Special Assistant (Hopkins) to the President1
[Yalta, February 10, 1945.]

Mr. President The Russians have given in so much at this conference that I don’t think we should let them down. Let the British disagree if they want to—and continue their disagreement at Moscow. Simply say it is all referred to the Reparations Commission with the minutes to show the British disagree about any mention of the 10 billion.
