DEPARTMENT OF STATE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON June 2, 1949 T SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS ITALIAN COLONIES The British Ambassador in Rome has informed our Ambassador that Italian Foreign Minister Sforza regards the British statement on self-government for Cyrenaica as a breach of faith on the part of Bevin and that he had to do his utmost to persuade Sforza not to resign. The British Ambassador feels that Sforza's resignation at this time would be most unfortunate in con- nection with the forthcoming debate on the Atlantic Pact in the Italian Parliament. GREECE The Greek Ambassador has informed us that the Under Secretary of the Greek Foreign Office has conveyed to Australian Foreign Minister Evatt his view that Evatt's latest intervention in the Greek question was a most unfriendly action and that Evatt could have done no greater harm to Greece. He said that no Greek leader could agree to any discussion of internal Greek matters and that the view of the Greek government is that Greek national dignity and self-preservation is involved. We informed the Greek Ambassador that, although the Greek position is understandable, we doubt whether this statement of it will forestall further intervention by Evatt.
