Government should not accept a “whitewash of the Warsaw regime” set up by the Soviets. He said the Soviets knew their puppet regime had little support among the Polish people. Next, Truman met with Anthony Eden, the British foreign secretary, and Lord Halifax, the British ambassador to the United States. They discussed a final text of the joint communication that he and Churchill were going to send to Stalin concerning Poland. The message stated that it was time to “correct the completely erroneous impression” that the Western Allies wished to exclude the Lublin regime from a coalition government.

Once they had discussed those issues, Stettinius brought up other questions that would likely affect the conference, including America’s deteriorating relationship with the Soviet Union since Yalta.
