This is the way the speech was verbally delivered before the Congress and heard over the radio. However, there is reason to be lieve that President Roosevelt ad-libbed the pronoun "me" and per haps also the "I." See Bert Andrews, New York Herald Tribune, March II, .1945. Robert E. Sherwood says, "He was extremely casual in this speech, ad-libbing a great deal of it." (Robert E. Sherwood, Roosevelt and Hopkins: An Intimate History [Harper, 1948], 874) Some newspapers, in printing the speech on March 2, 1945, the day after it was delivered, did not contain the "by Russia, by Britain and by me" phrase in any form whatever, probably because they were using the prepared text which had been issued to the press and which did not contain the President's extemporaneous remarks. An example is the San Francisco Chronicle of March 2, 1945. However, the text of the speech as printed in the New York Times of that date, as recorded and transcribed by the New York Times, includes the words "by Rus sia, by Britain and by me" and also the "as far as I wanted" phrase.
The words "and by me" were evidently too much for Samuel Rosenman when he came to editing the 1945 volume of The Public Papers and Addresses ot Franklin D. Roosevelt (hereafter referred to as Public Papers), so he changed the "by me" to "by the United States." This version is faithful neither to the orginal text nor to the speech as actually delivered. Roosevelt very likely shied away from calling the Polish settlement an agreement by the United States, for that might have caused some eyebrow-raising on the part of the Sena tors whom he was addressing. Actually, the "and by me" was the more ludicrous. Perhaps that is why editor Rosenman discarded it ex 283 284 NOTES FOR PAGES 2 TO 4 post facto and adopted the words "and by the United States U as the lesser of two embarrassing alternatives. It will be recalled that Rosen man was for years one of Rooseveles favorite ghost writers and was a trained expert at shuffling words and. phrases in a politic·manner.
2. He did say in his speech to Congress that the Charter of the United Nations would have to be approved by the Senate, making particular mention of the fact that he was "aware of" the Constitution of the United States. He was at that point talking about what had been done at Yalta concerning the about-to-be-born United Nations Organization. According to some newspaper accounts, as, for exam ple, in the San FranciscoChronicleof March 2, 1945,the text included the following words: "as will some of the other arrangements made at Yalta." Such accounts were probably based on a prepared text, but Roosevelt did not utter those words in delivering the speech. Accord ingly,. they are not found in the "recorded and transcribed" text printed the following day in the New York Times (March 2, 1945). Nor are they in the version published in Public Papers. The para graph referred to is somewhat casual in style, as though Roosevelt, in reading it, may have revised it on the spot by eliminating a vague reference to the necessity of Senate ratification of "some of the other arrangements made at Yalta." It is obvious that he did not intend to throw those "arrangements" open to questioning by the Senate; they were a fait accompliin his mind, and agreement "by lne" ended the matter.
Furthermore, although he said the limits of the western boundary of Poland would be fixed in the final "peace·conference," there was nothing tentative, about the eastern boundary or about East Prussia, Danzig, and the other areas affected. Said the President: "I think Danzig would be a lot better if it were Polish." So it had been made Polish. The people of Danzig, 95 per cent of whom were German speaking, were not to be asked if they agreed with the sage of Hyde Park that they would be better off if their city were Polish.

This highly respected military analyst explains why the invasion of Normandy was, in his view, one of the blunders by which the United States lost the peace. The United States,he says, had no peace aims, and American policy was based on false premises and psychological delusions. Prime Minister Churchill was concerned over the postwar political repercussions which might ensue from cur rent military decisions, only to be overruled repeatedly by President Roosevelt.
This difference in approach between Roosevelt and Churchill is reflected throughout the latter's war memoirs. Elliott Roosevelt, in his book As He Saw It (Duell, Sloane & Pearce, 1946),tells of the sharp cleavage between the thinking of the two men with regard to Russia. Frequently quoting from private conversations with his father, he records that Churchill fought an unceasing battle to avoid a cross Channel invasion into Europe and constantly struggled to force a change in Allied strategy in order to prevent a situation which would find the Red Army dominating .the Balkans as well as eastern Ger~ many. (pp. 184, 185, 231, 253). Franklin D. Roosevelt adamantly op posed any strategy which was objectionable to Stalin, whom he "liked," Elliott writes (p. 176), and whom he referred to as "Uncle Joe." 16. WilliamC.

So strict was the censorship that Henry Shapiro, the D.P. reporter, had a sec tion of the Russian Constitution stricken from one of his dispatches.
Censorship was also childishly arbitrary. Virgil Pinkley had a per sonality sketch of Stalin so ridiculously mutilated that he withdrew it. In it he had said that Stalin's hair was worn in pompadour style. When he asked why this harmless detail was removed, K. Palgunov, the chief of the Soviet press bureau, replied, "Mr. Pinkley, it is not permitted to compare Comrade Stalin with Madame Pompadour.n 9. See dispatch of L.S.B. Shapiro, New York Times, March 19, 1946. Mr. Shapiro reported: The key to Russia's expansion program in Europe and the Near -East has fallen into the hands of the State Department in Wash ington. Captured German documents detailing the final conversa tions between Russian Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov and German Foreign Minister Joachim Ribbentrop in the spring of 1941 have been collated and compared with the reports of American envoysand military attaches in European capitals at that time, with the result that Washington now possessesexact pictures of the aims NOTES FOIl PAGES 25 TO 28 and desires that lie behind the current Soviet troop movements and diplomatic pressures.
A fe\v weeks before Germany attacked Russia in June,194I, Mr. Molotov travelled to Berlin.... The transcript of these last conver sations ... became, in 1945, the chief objective of intelligence teams of every victorious nation scouring the ruins of the Third Reich. This correspondent has learned, on reliable authority, that the prized transcriptwas in a batch of captured German'documents that were dispatched to Washington during the winter. From sources in an indisputable position to know the facts, I have learned that the salient points of the transcript are as follows: .. . The Soviet emissary arrived with authorization from the Kremlin to offer to Germany full military alliance in return for cer tain territorial concessions after victory, which were perm.anent possession of all Polish territory then occupied by Soviet forces; incorporation of Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, and the Karelian Isth mus, Bessarabia and. Bukovina into the Soviet Union; complete control of the Dardanelles, a free hand in Iraq and Iran, and enough of Saudi Arabia to give the Soviets control of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Aden guarding the approaches to the Red Sea.
. . . After numerous conferences with Hitler, Ribbentrop arrived at certain private conclusions. The first was that Russia's territorial demands were too great for acceptance. Secondly, Ribbentrop felt that even if these were suitable, he could not accept Russia's friendly assurances at face value and that Germany would still require a huge force on her eastern frontiers to watch Russia's every move. These decisions were put to Mr. Molotov in an extremely stormy final session and the conference broke up shortly thereafter. In the light of current Russian moves, this transcript has now assumed importance. After a delay of three years, the State Department finally acknowl .. edged. its possession of this telltale transcript. See Nazi-Soviet Rela tions, 1939-1941.(Department of State, 1948). 10.
