Secretly it was agreed to let Russia have not only eastern Poland but also part of Finland, the Baltics States and parts of Roumania. Roosevelt and Churchill agreed that the eastern borders of Poland would roughly follow the [[Curzon Line]].  The Polish government was not notified of this decision and the only information given was a press release claiming that "We await the day, when all nations of the world will live peacefully, free of tyranny, according to their national needs and conscience ". The result was the loss of the eastern territories, approximately 48% of Poland's pre-war territory, to the Soviet Union.

Roosevelt told his son Elliott that "in between times Uncle Joe and I had a few words, too  just the two of us." As Stalin's guest in the Russian embassy, Roosevelt was accessible for secret talks without Churchill's knowledge. One of these dealt with the Chinese Communist issue. Roosevelt told Elliott we couldn't do much about that "while Winnie was around."
