SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS
GREAT BRITAIN
051-
Ambassador Harriman is convinced that the political
consequences of a loan failure would be as far reaching
as the economic consequences. He believes that a shift to the left would
result which would not only entrench Socialist principles in England but
would also weaken British support of the US on any issues with the Soviet
Union.
051 - GREECE
Bevin has informed the Secretary that a recompilation of
the voters' register is necessary in Greece before a
plebiscite can be held. The Greek Government has asked observation of this
work on the part of the British, American and French Governments. The Secretary
considers that we should accept any formal invitation which may be received
from the Greek Government.
051 - IRAN
The Shah has expressed concern to the British over the
possibility that Qavam, in order to obtain an early agreement,
may consent to leave the Azerbaijan army in existence. As a result of the
Shah's approach the British Ambassador is informing Qavam that the British see
no need for a concession on this point only to secure an early agreement.
Embassy Tehran, citing Soviet propaganda against American led gendarmerie
mission in Iran, does not believe that the mission should be removed at this
time unless such a move is necessary in order to appease Russians.
051 - ITALY
Victor Emmanuel' abdication plans are being held up pending
the return of the Italian Prime Minister from Paris.
051 . POLAND
After discussing the subject with Ambassador Lane, the
Secretary agrees that no further negotiations should be
held with Poland regarding surplus property unless Foland has met conditions
agreed upon in the Eximbank credit contract. The Secretary also feels that if
the Polish Government does not comply with these provisions, consideration
should be given to withholding the credit negotiated with Eximbank. The
Secretary asks that OFLC be instructed to stop delivery of surplus supplies
valued at more than 10 million dollars.
