wm DEPARTMENT OF STATE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON October 16, 1946 SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS UNITED We believe the situation in Spain is not now of such gravity as NATIONS to require further action at this time by the United Nations nor do we believe, in the present circumstances, that any constructive purpose would be served by encouraging discussion of the Iranian case in the General Assembly. AUSTRALIA Foreign Minister Evatt has told our Minister he thinks the Secretary has done a splendid job in Paris and that "the Russians have had the pants scared off them and are not anxious for trouble with the US". Evatt said he wishes to make a model of Australian-US relations showing the world there are no unsettled issues between us. CZECHOSLOVAKIA The Secretary wishes to see much more substantial evidence of Czechoslovak independence and friendship toward the US before recommending the resumption of any form of economic assistance. INDONESIA Our Embassy in London has been informed that the British attitude toward the Dutch-Indonesian negotiations is to avoid any developments which might tend to align the people's sympathy in India or Burma in an open popular issue against an European Government. They believe their efforts to solve the problems of India and other Asiatic areas hitherto governed by the UK would be jeopardized by bitter popular anti-occidental strife anywhere in Asia. IRAN Ambassador Allen has replied to the Shah's questions by saying that he thinks the government of Prime Minister Qavam must be changed if Iran is to preserve its independence. Allen is unable to predict what the Shah will do but reports that Tehran is full of rumors of an impending change of government and it is always possible that Qavam may be the first to act. YUGOSLAVIA We have instructed Embassy London to inform former King Peter of Yugoslavia that his proposed visit to the US appears inopportune. DECLASSIFIED E.O. 12065, Sec. 3-402 State Dept. Guideline, June 12, 1979 By NLT- HC NARS, Dute 11-12-10
