DEPARTMENT OF STATE
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
WASHINGTON
March 24, 1948
SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS
SPAIN
Embassy Madrid has been authorized to express casually
to top Spanish officials our disappointment at the
entirely negative manner in which they have reacted to our proposals
for a strengthening of US-Spanish relations. We feel that the present
Spanish attitude is not conducive to any change in (1) the present US
policy of refusing government credits to Spain, (2) the disinclination
of European countries to include Spain in their cooperative efforts,
or (3) the basic United Nations position on Spain.
ITALY
The British Foreign Office is increasingly inclined to
believe that any action on raising the Italian application
for UN membership at this time would at best have negligible election
propaganda value in Italy and might in fact have the opposite effect,
even impairing the good which has been done by the US-UK-French state-
ment on Trieste.
FRANCE
Ambassador Caffery has been informed that the French
intend to strengthen the troops along the French-Italian
frontier until after the Italian elections, and possibly also along
the French-Spanish frontier, on the hypothesis that any Communist
offensive action in France might well be coordinated with Communist
action in northern Italy and Spain.
DENMARK
The Danish Army and Navy have cancelled all leaves custom-
arily granted over the Easter holiday as a precautionary
move against any possible Soviet aggressive act. The Danes have
assured our minister that any possible Soviet offensive would be met
by all-out Danish military resistance.
