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.
