To Comrade Maisky

I received your message. Thank you for the information. The basic position of our foreign policy remains unchanged: we consider an Anglo-Soviet-American coalition the most important factor for defeating our common enemy. It goes without saying that we will do everything on our part to strengthen this coalition. At the same time, we cannot fail to take note of certain alarming developments in our relations with Britain, which I informed you about in my previous telegram. We must be watchful.

Stalin
