The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant)
1948. ReEmbs 2616, March 14, 11 a.m.19 Dept feels that Schoenfeld should carry out his instructions. We feel that Mikolajczyk should at least be given the opportunity of offsetting the effects of his earlier statement and both Harriman and Clark-Kerr feel that a statement by him would assist the negotiations. The statement need make no mention of his willingness to go to Moscow. In view of the great importance which this Government attaches to Mikolajczyk’s participation in the discussions in Moscow, we feel that every step possible should be taken to prevent his being excluded from the consultations.
- Not printed; it stated the opinion that Schoenfeld should not approach Mikolajczyk regarding a public statement until the Department had had time to consider the British Foreign Secretary’s views on the matter (860C.01/3–1445).↩
