...nation's capital there was a damper on this mood of hope. Three sudden events-the make-up of the Russian delegation to San Francisco, the disclosure of the secret Yalta voting agreement, and the inter-Allied row over the Lublin Poles (see INTERNATIONAL)-had thrown official Washington into a slough of despond. In the State Department, there was open talk of postponing the San Francisco Conference. This mood would probably unkink itself, but San Francisco no longer seemed a foregone happy conclusion. The war was unmistakably being won. But what of the peace...
...nobody's surprise, that issue was Poland. At Yalta, the Big Three had agreed in principle to concert their policies on the new Poland, replace Russia's Lublin lackeys with a government which would be fairly representative and suit the U.S. and Britain as well as the U.S.S.R.

Snorted Shaw: "[The Yalta Conference is] an impudently incredible fairy tale. . . . Will Stalin declare war on Japan as the price of surrender of the other two over Lublin? Not a word about it. Fairy tales, fairy tales, fairy tales, I for one should, like to know what really passed at Yalta. This will all come out 20 years hence, when Stalin writes his war memoirs. . . .
