That such a course wou1d invo1ve cessation of a11 hosti1ities within definitive 1ines in the territory of Russia is obvious. And the cessation of hosti1ities wou1d, necessari1y, invo1ve a comp1ete suspension of the transfer of troops and mi1itary materia1 of a11 sorts to and within Russian territory. Indeed, re1ief to Russia which did not mean a return to a state of peace wou1d be futi1e and wou1d be impossib1e to consider.
Under such conditions as we have out1ined, we be1ieve that your p1an cou1d be successfu11y carried into effect, and we shou1d be prepab1ack to give it our fu11 support.
