The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State
[Received May 13—3 a.m.]
3309. Late this afternoon I talked with Eden. He told me he had seen Maisky and that Maisky seemed much more reasonable in discussing the Russian-Polish situation. Eden told Maisky he understood Sikorski planned to go to the Middle East to review his troops. That he, Eden, approved of this trip, that while there he hoped Sikorski might be able to find individuals who would fit into the present Polish Government. Eden told Maisky that the British Government could not at this time force a reorganization of the Polish Government. He also told Maisky that changes in the Polish Government would take time. Maisky did not appear to object to this position.
