Message to F. Roosevelt (Correspondence Vol. 2, No. 272)

"Livadia," the Crimea
My dear Mr Roosevelt,
Your letter of February 10 received. I fully agree with you that because the Soviet Union's votes will increase to three owing to the admission of the Soviet Ukraine and Soviet Byelorussia to Assembly membership, the number of U.S. votes should likewise be increased. I think that the U.S. votes should be raised to three as in the case of the Soviet Union and its two main Republics. If necessary, I am prepared to give official endorsement to this proposal. Most sincerely yours,
J. Stalin
