Roosevelt Papers

The Secretary of State to the President

Memorandum to the President

I wish to refer to telegram no. 9050 of December 29 from Ambassador Winant which reads in part as follows:

“The Department will be familiar with the Soviet accusations against the Polish resistance groups in Poland which were lodged at Teheran1 to the effect that these resistance groups were actually cooperating with the Germans in that they were fighting the so-called partisans which were really Russians dropped by parachute.”

It would be helpful to me and to the senior members of the Department who are handling Soviet-Polish matters if the pertinent sections [Page 868] of the report on the Tehran Conference with regard to the aforementioned Soviet accusations might be made available to the Department.
