Memorandum, State Department Summary of Telegrams

DEPARTMENT OF STATE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON June 20, 1946 TOOP SUMMARY OF TELEGRAMS ARGENTINA 051- The Acting Secretary has informed Argentine General von der Becke that the best manner to proceed with the defense of the hemisphere is energetically to endeavor to reach a solution of pending matters between Argentina and the US. He suggested that von der Becke inform his Government of the great importance of compliance with the Mexico City resolutions. The General has stated that the Act of Chapultepec would have to be submitted to the Argentine Congress for ratification. It seemed evident during the conversation that the General, and therefore perhaps the Argentine Government, is desperately anxious to reach an agreement with us on defense and especially if it can do so without real compliance with its commitments. 051 - FRANCE Caffery reports that the social climate in France is potentially more troubled than it has been since the Liberation and while he does not anticipate a Communist armed insurrection in the near future, evidence is appearing that the Communists are beginning to create an atmosphere of unrest and discontent which could lead to revolutionary fervor. SINEI's INDONESIA Counter-proposals calling for more concessions by the Dutch than earlier proposals which the Netherlands did not find acceptable have been presented to the Dutch by leaders of the Indonesian *Republic". 051- GERMANY General Robertson has announced that the British Military Government will take over direct control of farming estates in the UK zone over 1200 acres in size pending recommendations on land reform by the German Advisory Council. British officials say the action is only the first step toward land reform in their zone. 051- HUNGARY Our representative in Hungary has heard but not confirmed that the USSR desires to expand its existing trade agreement with Hungary in an attempt apparently to absorb substantially all of Hungary' s exports. 051 - POLAND Accepting the assurances given by Polish officials, we are suggesting to the Secretary that we resume deliveries of US surplus property to Poland but that implementation of the Eximbank credit await the receipt by us of Poland's trade treaty texts.
