DEPARTMENT OF STATE
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
WASHINGTON
December 30, 1946
SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS
CZECHOSLOVAKIA
Ambassador Caffery has been informed that the Czech
Government has asked the French Government to assume
the representation of Czech interests in Spain.
FRANCE
Caffery reports that DeGaulle's statement renouncing
his candidacy for the presidency and condemning the
new French constitution has clarified the problem of the presidential
elections. The two leading candidates at present are Herriot and Auriol.
GERMANY
Murphy reports that a perceptible relaxation of the
attitude toward the German population on the part of the
Soviet military administration in Germany, coincident with the reduction of
Soviet military effectives, seems to be indicated. Soviet authorities are
reported to be relaxing Soviet censorship of the licensed German press.
Caffery has been told that General Koenig will soon be
replaced as the French member of the Allied Central Council in Germany
because the Blum Government believes he has gone too far in numerous pub-
lic declarations made without having them cleared by Paris.
HUNGARY
The Hungarian Government is now considering seeking a
substantial loan from the US within the next few months,
according to information given our Minister in Budapest.
INDOCHINA
Blum has informed Caffery that the French must restore
order in Indochina but the Vietnamese are entitled to
liberty and freedom and there should be no return to past "colonial prac-
tices".
IRAN
We are convinced that the collapse of the Azerbaijan
rebel government upon the arrival of Iranian Government
troops did not involve a deal between Iranian Prime Minister Qavam and the
USSR. Embassy Moscow believes the USSR was caught unprepared in Azerbaijan
and decided not to show its hand by interfering openly on behalf of its
puppet.
