DECLASSIFIED
E.O. 11652, Sec. 3(E) and 5(D) or (E)
Dept. of State letter, Aug. 10, 1972
-4-
DINL-WL NARS Date 6.26-75
Nationalist and opposition political groups in Lebanon
are seizing on the tension to agitate for a reconstruc-
tion of the Lebenese Cabinet along coalition lines.
The British give at least four reasons why they
would prefer not to have a representative of the Arab
League present at whatever conference is held on the
Levent problem. These have to do with a desire not to
broaden or exacerbate the issue and with the fact that
B. League representative would have no recognized status
or responsibility,
Repercussions in Morocco of the Levant crisis are
not likely to cause recurrence in the near future of
the serious disturbances provoked by the Syrian and
Lebenese troubles of late 1943, in the opinion of Consul
Pasquet in Rabat. He points out that Moroccan political
conditions are of particular concern to the United States
et this time because of the abnormally large movement of
American troops through Port Lyautey and Casablanca on
their way to this country.
Relations Between the Chinese National Government
and the Communists. Ambassador Hurley feels there is
unquestionably an effort being made by enemies of the
National Government of China to exaggerate all claahes
with Chinese Commists and to fen disagreements into
the proportions of a civil war. He feels, however, that
this effort on the part of the die-hards is failing.
According to US Army Hqs, this situation is less serious
than it was a few months ago, our Military Attaché
reporting that the Commmist-Central Government situation
seemed to continue to be mostly a battle of words, with
each contestant attempting to place on the other respon-
sibility for the clashes.
