The Acting Secretary of State to the Second Secretary of Embassy in Moscow (Thompson)
131. With reference to your 137, March 9, 5 p.m., Department concurs that it would be inadvisable at this time for you to intercede in any effort to bring about improvement in Polish-Soviet relations since the Soviets and Poles are endeavoring to iron out their difficulties themselves.
In view, however, of importance of these questions please keep the Department currently informed of developments in the negotiations.
In regard to relief supplies Department has been informed that there are sufficient supplies in Tehran earmarked for Poles in the Soviet Union to cover any possible shipment which can be made during the next 6 months over the overburdened transportation system. When these supplies have been sufficiently depleted to warrant further shipments the question will then be reopened.
