DEPARTMENT OF STATE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON October 18, 1949 I OP S II c D I m SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS BERLIN The Prime Minister of the western German govern- ment, following discussions with other repre- sentative German leaders, has informed McCloy that they do not at this time favor the incorporation of Berlin into the Bonn government as the twelfth land but that they do believe there should be general representation of the ministries in Berlin and a definite program of financial aid for that city. He hoped to have a detailed financial plan ready to submit later this week. SYRIA-IRAQ Our Charge in Tel Aviv believes that political union between Syria and Iraq would unquestionably create a strong reaction in Israel and might be taken as an ex- cuse both for remobilizing the Israeli army and possibly for more warlike actions. The French Charge in Damascus has ex- pressed the view that there is general support in Syria for a modified union with Iraq such as a customs union or military alliance but that considerable opposition exists within the Syrian army to any form of union which might compromise Syrian sovereignty or merge the two national armies. DECLASSIFIED E.O. 12065, Sec. 3-402 State Dept. Guideline, June 12, 1979 T SECRET By NITIVE NARS, Date 11-13-to
