FROM: THE PRESIDENT
SINCE SENDING YOU MY TELEGRAM OF APRIL 30
I HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY CONCERNED OVER THE
IMPLICATION OF TITO'S ACTIONS IN VENEZIA GIULIA.
YOU ARE NO DOUBT RECEIVING THE SAME REPORTS WHICH
INDICATE THAT HE HAS NO INTENTION OF ABANDONING
THE TERRITORY OR OF PERMITTING A PEACEFUL SOLU-
TION OF THIS CENTURY OLD PROBLEM AS PART OF A
GENERAL PACIFIC POST-WAR SETTLEMENT. I HAVE COME
TO THE CONCLUSION THAT WE MUST DECIDE NOW WHETHER
WE SHOULD UPHOLD THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF
TERRITORIAL SETTLEMENT BY ORDERLY PROCESS AGAINST
FORCE, INTIMIDATION OR BLACKMAIL. IT SEEMS THAT
TITO HAS AN IDENTICAL CLAIM READY FOR SOUTH AUSTRIA,
IN CARINTHIA AND STYRIA AND MAY HAVE SIMILAR DESIGNS
ON PARTS OF HUNGARY AND GREECE IF HIS METHODS IN
VENEZIA GIULIA SUCCEED. ALTHOUGH THE STABILITY OF
