SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS
PARIS FOUR
In yesterdays meeting Gromyko handed the
POWER TALKS
Western deputies Soviet notes in reply to the
Western notes of June 15. In general, the
Soviet note merely restated that it is willing to send a representative
to a CFM meeting in Washington "as soon as the conference of the deputy
foreign ministers in Paris will favorably resolve the question of the
inclusion on the agenda of the item regarding the Atlantic Treaty and
the American military bases".
We have instructed Jessupto join with the British and
French representatives today in making a statement which will terminate
the deputy's conversations. This statement will review the reasons why
the western powers feel it is useless to continue the Paris talks and will
renew the invitation to the Soviets to attend a CFM in Washington.
(Our conversations with Jessup were conducted
by telecon. When the telecon material has been reproduced, copies will
be forwarded.)
IRAN
We have instructed our Ambassador in Tehran to
approach the head of the AIOC delegation on a
personal basis as one businessman to another, and urge him to remain in
Iran if such is possible within his instructions so as to be available should
any opening for further negotiations occur. The Ambassador is to point
out that the Iranians have throughout their history maintained their existance
by compromise and bargaining rather then by principle and we believe this
phase of the Iranian character is not entirely absent from the present situa-
tion although it admittedly has been subordinated to nationalist desires.
Our Embassy in London has reported that our view
that the British delegation should not leave Iran at this time had been care-
fully considered by the British cabinet, but that a decision had been taken
that the UK could not leave the delegation in Tehran indefinately.
