Warsaw

On the day of your sixtieth birthday, allow me to salute you, Comrade President, as a great builder and leader of the new, united, independent people's-democratic Poland.

I send you heartfelt wishes of good health and success in your work for the benefit of the fraternal Polish people and the further strengthening of friendship between the Polish Republic and the Soviet Union in the interests of peace throughout the world.

I. Stalin
