[Part I] To the 8th Department.
In a conversation with SERGEJ[i] IMPERIALIST[ii] said:
1. The General Staff of the COUNTRYISTRANAMiii] has no doubt of
the success of the invasion of Europe. Last week, CARTHAGE[KARFA-
GEN] [iv] assured EISENHOWER that there were sufficient trained re-
serves in the COUNTRY to ensure the reinforcement of the units
taking part in the invasion. The ISLANDERS[OSTROVITYaNE][v] have
stopped objecting to the invasion. LUN"s[vi] deputy (henceforth
"KAPRAL"[vii]) told IMPERIALIST that KABAN[viii] had agreed with
the invasion plan proposed by the TOWNSMEN[GOROZhANE]lix]. In
KAPRAL's words KABAN told him: "For a long time I could not agree
to an operation of this kind. However, now despite 13 groups un-
recovered]
[42 groups unrecoverable]
is sure that a break will ensue very soon. Concerning Rumania,
Bulgaria and Hungary the BANK[x.): supposes that they will break with
Germany only after the development of decisive operations on the
Western and Eastern Fronts.
Only in passing did IMPERIALIST touch upon European ques-
tions, saying that it was desirable to have a solution of the
Soviet-Polish, problem before the invasion: "In return for a:change
in the Polish Cabinet, MOSCOW ought to renounce L'VOV.?
I. [xi] continues to consider the question of the partici-
pation of the USSR in the war against Japan a stumbling block in
Soviet-American relations. The master of the DAChA[xii] told him
that discussion of this question by the press was contrary to the
interests of the COUNTRY. I. agrees with him but does not con-
ceal that our future intentions in this matter are considered in
responsible circles in the COUNTRY to be a deciding factor in the
policy of the COUNTRY.
[Part II] According to IMPERIALIST'S report the American5, by the end
of 1944, hope to seize the Philippines, Formosa, Singapore and
1180 groups unrecovered]
110 groups unrecoverable]
