SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS
TRIESTE
While detailed answers to all questions concerning the
future of Trieste with reference to the current Soviet-
Yugoslav dispute cannot be given without fuller information and
more detailed study, we are informing our representatives in Trieste
that: 1) even if Yugoslavia is attacked our present estimate is that
there will be prolonged Tito resistance in substantial areas of
Yugoslavia; 2) in the event a Cominform regime is established in
Yugoslavia, we have no intention of abandoning our support for the
eventual return of all Trieste to Italy. While we agree that a
rigid segration of the two zones should be maintained in the event
of a Cominform take over, we are considering in case there is no radi-
cal change in the Yugoslav situation the desirability of establishing
joint bodies to consider common problems arising in the Yugoslav and
the US-UK zones of Trieste.
AUSTRIA
We have again informed our representatives in London that
we do not believe the immediate dispatch of a note to
Moscow merely covering the reconvening of the Austrian deputies in
New York will fulfill our objectives and we prefer to have the first
approach a one package presentation of both the procedural and the
substantive issues. The French are reported to be agreeable toeither
procedure, while the British have still not agreed to our proposal.
They continue to feel that the opening approach should be made as soon
as possible without waiting for tripartite agreement on the substan-
tive line to be taken.
