890. From Secretary Morgenthau for Marshal Stalin. Please accept my grateful thanks for your message to the American people on the subject of war bonds which was read today over the American radio by General Belaev.97 It will, I am sure, bring home to everyone [Page 581] in this country the importance of wholehearted support of those measures necessary adequately to finance the arms and munitions with which the victory of our United Nations is to be achieved. [Morgenthau.]
