DEPARTMENT OF STATE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON February 25, 7946 DECLASSIFIED E.O. 12065, Sec. 3-402 State Dept. Guideline, June 12, 1979 TOI By NLT- HL NARS, Date 11-10-to SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS to COUNCIL OF During the February 21 meeting the deputies FOREIGN MINISTERS accepted a formula agreed upon by the commission of 051 (2) experts for the investigation of the Yugoslav-Italian staly Italy frontier. The Soviet deputy, however, refused to permit an investigation of Fiume and subsequently rejected Dunn's proposal that Fiume be coupled with Tarvisio as areas where the committee would obtain information for consideration by the Council but would not actually make visits there. Dunn concludes that the Russians are determined that the commission shall visit all areas claimed by Yugoslavia but will not make such visits to Italian claimed areas. The Russians also appear to be attempting to utilize present discussions in order to negotiate preliminary agreements on the actual line. OFI ARGENTINA Bevin states that the British Government is unable to make a supporting statement on the Blue Book. The point is made that such a statement would look like intervention in the internal conference affairs of Argentina. 051 CZECHOSLOVAKIA Masaryk has expressed himself as entirely satisfied with the American Government's statement on the recent 05103ech incident involving the removal of documents from Czechoslovak territory by American troops. He stated that upon the return of the documents the incident would be regarded as closed. 071 IRAN The Shah of Iran in a conversation with Ambassador Murray has expressed extreme disquiet over Qavan's visit to Moscow. He apparently fears that Qavan will play the role of a Persian 051 Dran Kerensky who will be cajoled and threatened into measures which will pave the way for compl te Soviet domination of Iran. The Shah feels that Russia is now embarking on a course of outright aggression and that Iran will be the first victim in the battle for the Middle East oil. 051- KOREA A message signed by Hodge comments upon recent political 051 Korea developments in Korea and particularly upon greatly increased Communist activity in both zones. The Russian-sponsored Korean Central Government of North Korea appears to be composed entirely of violent Communists or unknown Koreans brought in from Russia or Manchuria. The leader of the "People's Party" in South Korea has now openly admitted that he is a true Communist and in a speech described in detail Communist operations and means of discrediting the American military and military government Every attempt is being made by the Communists to obtain full control of any central government that TOP POLAND
