740.0011 Moscow/19: Telegram
The Chargé in the Soviet Union (Hamilton) to the Secretary of State
[Received 4:15 p.m.]
1587. The daily bulletin issued by the British in Moscow stated in the issue of October 9 that on October 7 Mr. Eden cordially welcomed the new Soviet Ambassador to Great Britain and that they reviewed plans together “for the three power conference in Moscow”. It stated further that both the British and Soviet Governments were glad that Mr. Hull “is prepared to make the long journey”. It would be very helpful to me if I could be informed by urgent telegram whether there has been any official announcement that the conference is to be held in Moscow and if such announcement has been made the substance thereof. As the Department is aware we rarely receive the radio bulletin in Moscow and any official announcement contained therein is usually not available to us.
