SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS
PALESTINE
Belgian Prime Minister Spaak has informed Ambassador
Kirk that he was never happy about the decision on
the partition of Palestine and that he felt the proposal to call a
special session of the General Assembly at this time was unwise.
Spaak feels that some form of federation in Palestine can be worked
out, and he expressed the greatest admiration for the new position
taken by the US on this question.
ITALY
French officials have refused to allow the Italian
diplomatic representatives to distribute ballots to
the 600,000 Italian nationals living in France, fearing that the
great majority of these people would vote the Communist ticket.
They have agreed to allow the circulation of registration cards for
use by those Italians who wish to return home to vote, though they
predict that few persons will take advantage of this.
ANTARCTICA
In consultation with the British we have agreed to
postpone sending an inquiry to other interested gov-
ernments a.s to their willingness to enter into diplomatic discussions
on the Antarctic problem. The British have also agreed not to invite
the US, Chile and Argentina to a discussion of British Antarctic
claims, though they will informally tell them that the UK will confer
on Antarctic problems after the Bogota Conference, if Chile and
Argentina do not press this matter at Bogota.
