Mr. Bevin said he opposed the original UN reso-\nlution recalling Ambassadors, but that repeal of it now would be\nbadly received in England. The Secretary said we also agreed it\nwas better not to raise this in the General Assembly, though if it\ncame up we might favor a resolution which would permit the return\nof Ambassadors on the grounds that the previous resolution had not\nbeen effective and had created confusion.\n4. Yugoslavia - The view was expressed that the internal\neconomic and political situation for Tito for the next few months\nlooked bad, and that while there was little danger of a direct\nattack from outside, there was danger of internal sabotage and\nunrest. It was agreed that the western powers would explore all\npossible means of assisting Tito to maintain his economic position\nover the next several months, including sterling and lira loans,\ntrade credits, etc., and that collective as well as individual\naction should be studied.\n5. Albania - The US and UK agreed that the Albanian question\nshould be continually studied by the two countries. The present\ndifferences between the US and UK resolve around the question of\nwhether we should attempt to make more trouble for the Albanian\nregime at this time. The US is inclined to answer in the affirma-\ntive, though admitting that the situation must be handled with\ngreat care to avoid having the Greeks precipitate a crisis or the\nUSSR intervene. The British are inclined to feel there is no\nsubstitute for the present Hoxha government and that the Free\nAlbanian Committee is not a hopeful prospect.\n6. Greece - There was discussion between Mr. Bevin and the\nSecretary of the method for handling the Greek case, with both\nexpressing the feeling that the USSR might be interested in dis-\ncussions looking toward a settlement of this problem. Mr. Bevin\nagreed with our view that if the situation seemed propitious, the\nUN might propose discussions among Greece, her three northern\nneighbors and the Big Four, though we should be careful not to\nappear over-anxious.\n5.7nown\nARCHIVEA **NATIONAL SERVICE\" HECORDS AND\nDECLASSIFIED\nE.
