The Chargé to the Polish Government in Exile (Schoenfeld) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 10—3:10 a.m.]
Poles 115. For the Secretary and Under Secretary. Premier Mikolajczyk has just sent me word through a member of his Cabinet that he is leaving tonight for Moscow accompanied by Foreign Minister Romer, Professor Grabski, General Tabor and Colonel Novicki.
This source states Mikolajczyk yesterday received a telegram from Churchill stating that Stalin desired him, Romer and Grabski “to join the conference”. He replied that he would come if his discussions were to be with the Soviet Government and not with the National Liberation Committee and if they were to be on the basis of the memorandum already submitted to Moscow (my 88, August 30). In a second telegram received this evening, Churchill advised Mikolajczyk that Stalin agreed to his coming on that basis and desired him to set out immediately.
In a Cabinet meeting held this evening, Polish Government confirmed Mikolajczyk’s full powers to reach agreement on the basis of the memorandum. Mikolajczyk also saw President Raczkiewicz who signified his full agreement.
Mikolajczyk hopes to see Ambassador Harriman prior to his conversations to acquaint him fully with his plans.
Sent to Department, repeated to Moscow as 109.
