The French have ceased firing as a result of the message which Mr. Churchill sent to De Gaulle, with the approval of the American Government.

I want you to stay at your post at least until V-J Day in order that I may have your continued assistance.

This order shall be effective from June 1, 1945, until June 30, 1946, unless sooner modified or revoked.

I wish to express my very deep sympathy for the relatives of those members of our armed forces who have the misfortune still to be held as prisoners of war by the enemy.

This does not mean, however, that the Japanese have given up hope.

I am declining to accept it.

We must see that there is no justification for any such feeling, and that is just what we are going to do.

No, no. By cable.

We are trying to work out a policy and a plan for its disposal.

I am in favor of the principal parts of it.

Those who have the heavy responsibility of directing the Nation's military efforts do not underestimate the difficulties of crushing an enemy defended by vast distances and animated by desperate fanaticism.

I have persuaded Sam Rosenman to stay with me for another year, and I am very happy that he is going to do it.

I would rather wait for another time and give you a complete statement on that.

I asked him to stay on until I got more familiar with the situation, and he came up yesterday and told me that he would like to quit within the next month; in fact, not later than July 15.

I think we would, but there has been no arrangement for such a meeting officially.

Read that summary very carefully.

It is getting closer.

The self-effacing zeal and patriotic devotion with which you have served your country and your President in recent years cannot yet be spared.
