740.0011 EW/6–445: Telegram
The Secretary of State to the Acting Secretary of State
[Received June 4—12:46 a.m.]
2. Personal for the Acting Secretary. I had not previously received the telegram from the President quoted in your No. 13, June 2, in regard to Stalin’s invitation to Soong. I shall convey this invitation at once. It seems to me, however, particularly in view of my conversation with Soong, described in my letter of May 30 to you,51 that it would be desirable that Soong be informed concerning the Yalta tripartite agreement before he leaves the United States. He would certainly feel that we had not been frank with him if we allowed him to remain in ignorance of the agreement until he reached Moscow. Would you be good enough to ask the President whether he agrees with my feeling on this and, if so, whether he would prefer to tell Soong of the agreement in Washington or to have me tell him here.
