Telegram from WSC to the British Ambassador in the United States [Lord Halifax, earlier Edward Wood and Lord Irwin] marked "Personal and Top Secret" asking him to give a "Personal and Private" message to Anthony Eden [later Lord Avon, Foreign Secretary] on his arrival in Washington [United States]: agreeing with Eden's preference [for a June General Election]; but arguing that possible conflict with Yugoslavia [over disputed territories in north-east Italy and southern Austria] might mean the prolonging of the Coalition Government; and expressing his pleasure at President Harry Truman's "far-sighted, sure-footed and resolute" support for their stand against Yugoslavia [later Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia].
