The Secretary of State to the Ambassador to the Greek Government in Exile (MacVeagh), at Cairo

Greek [Series] 67. For M. Tsouderos.

“I have read with approval Your Excellency’s radio address of December 21, appealing for Greek unity.

Reports of fratricidal strife within Greece have shocked the American Government and people to whom the heroic and united resistance of the Greek people against Axis aggression and occupation has been a constant inspiration.

We earnestly hope that the Greek resistance groups will no longer dissipate their strength in internal quarrels but will promptly unite among themselves and with us in the struggle against our common enemy. Such united collaboration will speed the day of victory and liberation when the Greek people, proud and honored, will again be masters of their own destiny.”
