4795. ReEmbs 4777, December 11, 10 p.m.25 The French Minister26 yesterday informed me that Stalin had told de Gaulle that the Polish Lublin Committee would shortly declare itself the Provisional Government of Poland. I assume that the Soviet Government will, of course, then recognize them as such. I have received no information on this from the Soviet Government.
