DEPARTMENT OF STATE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON November 6, 1946 SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS UNITED Our Delegation has been informed by the British that the UK NATIONS Delegation would, if our position made it necessary, reluctantly favor the proposal to broaden the Soviet request for information on troops to include forces in ex-enemy states but would insist that the proposal contain provisions for checking the information by a committee of the Security Council. BRAZIL Possible revision of the 1944 secret military air base agree= ment with Brazil is being studied jointly. Major objectives of the proposed changes are to fix responsibility on the Brazilian Govern- ment for maintaining and operating bases but at the same time retaining necessary and reasonable operating rights for US military transport and combat aircraft in a war emergency and during peace time on a basis more acceptable to Brazil and more readily defensible from the standpoint of its sovereignty. BULGARIA In the light of the new political facts produced by the Bulgarian elections, our representative in Sofia believes our attitude on the Bulgarian question should be reexamined and that new friendly discussions with Molotov and Vishinsky are indicated. USSR Embassy Moscow reports that the current downward readjustment in food ration categories, the increased prices of rationed foodstuffs and the general prospect of a lean and cold winter have released audible murmurs of discontent in Moscow. YUGOSLAVIA Our representative in Belgrade reports that on the eve of the elections for Serbian and Croatian assemblies Tito's system of terror is so effective that in Serbia over 95% of the voters are expected to vote even though in each electoral unit only one candidate is permitted and there are no opposition candidates although less than 50% of the electors are pro-Tito.
