861.00 Congress, Communist International, VII/86: Telegram

The Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Bullitt) to the Secretary of State

394. My No. 393. Careful perusal of Krestinski’s note leads me to recommend that the measures suggested in my numbers 363 to 369 of August 2164a should be put into effect without delay.

I venture to suggest that if the President should touch the question of the connection between the Soviet Government and the Communist International he should state clearly the simple fact that both the Soviet Government and the Communist International are merely different aspects of Stalin’s mind and will.
