DEPARTMENT OF STATE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON March 6, 1947 = SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS UNITED Embassy London reports that the coal crisis, KINGDOM which served to focus public attention on the weakened British economic and financial position, has stopped for the present any talk about the danger of the UK becoming too closely bound economically and politically to the US. The Embassy considers that the British will now feel that multilateralism in trade is even more essential for them, but at the same time there will be substantial retrenchment in any joint Anglo-American economic projects for relief and re- habilitation and the maintenance of international security. PALESTINE The British Colonial Office emphasizes that cur- rent operations in Palestine have no "punitive" purpose but are merely designed to seal off suspected areas in such a way that exhaustive searches can be made for arms and terrorists. CHINA Ambassador Stuart feels that Chiang Kai-shek has determined to embark on an all-out military cam- paign to free as much of China proper from the Communists as possible. Mme. Chiang has indicated that she considers the present crisis, following the resignation of Premier Soong, the most serious one within her experience that China has faced. DECLASSIFIED E.O. 12065, Sec. 3-402 State Dept. Guiddline, June 12, 1979 By NLT- HC NARS, Date 11-12-20
