Editorial Note
Churchill wrote to Roosevelt on the morning of September 14, 1944, suggesting that he bring Law and perhaps Eden to call on the President at 11 a.m. to discuss the application to Italy of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (see ante, p. 45). The Log, ante, p. 291, indicates that only Law accompanied Churchill to this meeting, concerning which no further information has been found.1
- Woodward, p. 405, states: “Mr. Churchill had taken great trouble to put before the President at Quebec a number of proposals for easing the situation in Italy—before the American Presidential election—and we expected consideration for our views from the State Department.” See post, p. 494, for the text of a joint statement on Italy which Roosevelt and Churchill tentatively agreed upon during their conversations at Hyde Park following the Second Quebec Conference. For Churchill’s letter to Roosevelt of September 12, 1944, asking for an opportunity to discuss Italian problems, see ante, p. 42.↩
