In the evening Secretary Gou invited me to go to the Zoc Mock Myzbicanbhbiu Teaip to listen to Gipsy Baron (an opera in 4 acts). The theatre itself, and the actor as well as art were far inferior to the Grand Theatre. I met French Ambassador Garreau there, he thought that the meeting of the three leaders Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin was perhaps because the Soviet Union was discontented with Britain and the United States. Roosevelt and Churchill needed to explain to Stalin face to face, because he knew that two things made the Soviet Union unhappy. 1) The Soviet border issue. The Soviet side thought that there was no room for discussion, but Hull reported in the American Congress that it would be pending for discussion after the war. 2) Churchill made a speech in the British Parliament that British should prepare for a bigger sacrifice in 1944, which was tantamount to telling the enemy that they wouldn’t open the second war zone within this year. I just nodded my head and replied to him half-heartedly. Probably recently the Fighting French was very dissatisfied with Britain and the United States, and it was unwilling to see the Soviet Union moving closer to Britain and the United States because it was unable to adopt the tactic of check and balance. Therefore, it tried its best to incite. This type of method was perhaps too stupid, and would be harmful to the prospect of the Free France Movement.
