Message to F. Roosevelt (Correspondence Vol. 2, No. 246)

Thank you for your communication on the subject of France. General de Gaulle and I have arrived at the conclusion that the Franco-Soviet mutual aid pact will benefit both Franco-Soviet relations and European security in general. The pact was signed today.
As to the post-war frontier of France, examination of this question has, as I informed you, been deferred.
