5191. With regard to the “Identic Draft Declaration on German Crimes in Poland” agreed on in Quebec17 to be issued on August 30 by the British and American Governments, we believe it would be advisable to give the Soviet Government for its information an advance copy of the text. We propose, if the British are agreeable, to give the text to the Soviet Chargé here on August 28. Please telegraph urgently if the British concur.
