The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Harriman)
791. Please inform the Soviet ForOf that the American Government has received several press and radio reports attributed to responsible officials of the Provisional Polish Government now functioning in Warsaw to the effect that certain territories in the Soviet Military Zone including the Free City of Danzig, and several regions in Lower and Upper Silesia which were included in pre-1937 Germany have been formally incorporated into Poland. You should request the ForOf to furnish at its early convenience for the enlightenment of the American Government appropriate information with respect to the present status of the Free City of Danzig and pre-1937 German territory now in the Soviet Military Zone.
Your personal comments upon this subject as well as any information the Embassy may be in a position to obtain would be welcome.
