The Secretary of State to the Greek Ambassador (Diamantopoulos)
My Dear Mr. Ambassador: I have received your note of December 10, 1945, containing the information that the Chiefs of the Allied Mission for the Observation of Greek Elections did not, during their [Page 193] recent visit in Athens, indicate their preference for a specific date for the national elections in Greece.
In connection with the reiterated hope of your Government that a short postponement in the date could be made, the Department’s note of December 11 indicated this Government’s view that the fixing of a date for Greek elections is solely the concern of the Greek Government.
Sincerely yours,
