SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS
CHINA
Chiang Kai-shek has assured Ambassador Stuart that
his policy is firmly based on close relations with the
US and that the friendship between the US and China was too long-
standing to be affected by any "seeming conflicts of interest".
Stuart believes that the Chinese attitude on a Japanese peace treaty
is not the result of any direct Soviet pressure but is rather due to
(a) a Chinese desire to exert pressure on the US for immediate
material aid and (b) a Chinese fear that our Pacific policy is tend-
ing to focus more on Japan than on China.
IRAN
High Iranian officials are concerned over evidences
of considerable Soviet military activity along the
Soviet-Iranian frontier, though Ambassador Allen considers that this
activity is designed primarily to intimidate Iran into granting an
oil concession. The Chief of Staff has given orders that Iranian
units are to shoot if Soviet troops cross the frontier.
ARGENTINA
President Peron has told Ambassador Bruce that he will
give serious study to the question of Argentina's join-
ing the International Emergency Food Commission and of increasing her
exports of grain. He indicated, however, that his gravest problem
was the shortage of transportation facilities, particularly of gaso-
line, which had caused the loss of large quantities of wheat and corn
in the interior because it could not be moved to markets.
