Memorandum by President Roosevelt to the Secretary of State
Washington, July 10,
1943.
The impression which the Polish Ambassador received73 is, of course, utterly contrary to the fact. In my talk with General Sikorski and the Ambassador I spoke of food as a weapon in the actual war. The [Page 932] only other thing I said was that it was obvious that after the war food would go by priority to the people of our Allies—the United Nations—ahead of food to feed people in Germany. That statement is, of course, obvious.
I hope you will take the matter up with the Polish Ambassador.
F[ranklin] D. R[oosevelt]
