SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS
PALESTINE
Count Bernadotte has informed our Embassy in Stockholm
that he feels the Palestine problem must come before the
General Assembly since only a resolution similar to that of last
November will induce the Arabs to accept the Jewish state. Bernadotte
prefers not to submit his recommendations to the Security Council,
where the USSR would use its veto in deference to the Jews who seek
greater territory than is granted them in his proposals.
An Arab representative in London has expressed the view
that "acquiescence" in the Jewish state is the most that can be expected
from the Arabs for "at least a year". He does not believe that any
present Arab government could, in view of inflamed Arab passions, afford
to negotiate with Israel even if this were demanded by the UN.
INDONESIA
Our representatives in Batavia report that the disinte-
gration of the Indonesian Republican government is increas-
ing rapidly and that the government cannot be expected to last more than
a few weeks unless it is given an opportunity to resume negotiations with
the Dutch on the basis of the Renville agreements. Some local officials
believe that the government cannot remain in power in any case and that
revolution may break out in Republican areas in the near future. It
is
considered certain that any successor government would be leftist.
GREECE
Embassy Athens reports that most of the Greek guerrillas
have succeeded in withdrawing in good order into Albania,
their morale and general condition is satisfactory, and their capabili-
ties include early reinfiltration into Greece. The Greeks are discour-
aged over this prospect and pessimistic about the possibilities of any
effective UN action. While our Embassy is sure the Greek government
intends to take no action against the Soviet satellites, it fears that
without some strong diplomatic move against Albania in particular the
Greek forces might be provoked into some outright military measure.
