Editorial Note
While attending the Council of Foreign Ministers at Moscow (March 10–April 24), Secretary of State George C. Marshall had a lengthy conversation with Generalissimo Stalin on the night of April 15. In addition to the discussion of particular problems, the Secretary explained to Stalin that many actions by the Soviet Government were having a bad effect on American public opinion and were causing a deterioration in American feeling for the Soviet Union. For the report of this meeting, see the memorandum of conversation of April 15, Volume II, page 337.
