[off camera]: ...303. (clap)
[off camera]: All right.
My patience were also wearing thin
with Stalin.
He was not keeping his agreements. One week after Yalta
he made up his mind that he was going to get more out of the situation
than we were willing to give, and I was bound and determined that he wasn't going to get it.
And so that almost made us stalemate.
But I found out afterwards, when you go
far enough with Stalin and he finds out
you've got more divisions than he
has, he would finally come across and
keep the agreements he has made, which he didn't have to break in the first place.
[off camera]: Good. Could you tell us once again that your patience was wearing thin, too.
My patience was wearing thin
at this situation-- with this situation in
eastern Asia, and Korea, and Manchuria, and Mongolia-- Outer Mongolia-- and I was tired of it.
And I told Stalin just that.
[off camera]: Cut. Good.
