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.
