No War Pact Offer From Stalin Draws Little Support in Washington
Premier Stalin proposed a no war pact with the United States but officials led by the Truman administration offered little enthusiasm. White House and State Department did not comment beyond noting no such communication had been received. Stalin signaled willingness to joint disarmament talks and normalizing conditions, while a German question hinged on removing Berlin and German state restrictions as the Four powers revisit the German issue. A timing for talks with President Truman remained unsettled with Washington favoring UN channels.
