964, September 21, 4 p.m.
I was this morning invited to have look at bust of
Tito being made by sculptor Jo Davidson, and Tito
then took me aside for half hour conversation.
His chief concern was danger of Greek action against
Albania "please inform your government this would
create most difficultsituation for us. It is vital
to us Albanian independence be respected. Greeks
must not be allowed settle things their way. "
I
assured him we had already given "strong advice"
to
Greek Govt and thought that situation would be
kept in control. I added that US has always stood
for independence Albania and we are not supporting
idea of frontier changes I then said that as re- -
gards internal situation in Albania if we accept
reports of unrest caused by economic troubles and
progressive demoralization Albanian people, them-
selves, might be obliged to take matters into their
hands. He said, "that's all right. It is their
business how Albanians manage their affairs as
long as other people keep out of it. It would be
very hard for us if there should be intervention from
outside. Let Greeks again be told".
For other topics discussed see separate telegram.
Dept will note this telegram not being repeated
