DEPARTMENT OF STATE
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
WASHINGTON
July 1, 1947
SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS
FRANCE
The next ten days are considered to be the
most critical period the Remadier Government
has faced, and whether the cabinet stands or falls depends upon
the evolution of political events during this period. Ambassador
Caffery reports that Ramadier, faced with "the severest of tests"
must first find a compromise economic policy on which the parties
in the coalition government can agree. He must then obtain a vote
of confidence from the Assembly and finally receive the endorse-
ment of the Socialist National Council.
GERMANY
In a long review of the economic and political
situation in Germany Ambassador Murphy con-
cludes that, black as the picture may be, Germany can still make
a contribution to a program for European reconstruction. He rec-
ommends an upward revision of the .evel-of-industry plan in the
US-UK zones, improvement in the food situation and Ruhr coal pro-
duction, and an easing of restrictions and exchange problems which
impede normal German trade with the rest of Europe.
PARIS CONFERENCE
Bevin has sent a personal message to Secretary
Marshall stating that the Bevin-Bidault-Molotov
conversations "to all intents and purposes" broke down yesterday.
He stated that he was glad ""the cards have been laid on the table
and that the responsibility will be laid at Moscow's door." He
reiterated that Bidault had shown "great courage" and had given
"wholehearted support" to the British position despite the critical
French internal situation, adding an expression of concern over the
fact that the French might not be politically or economically strong
enough to face the position which they have now taken.
